Commonly translated as *Commercial Register number* (doesn't matter that there arent't too many ggls -- there is no equivalent in the US!) but I'd definitely add [German] (as written, in brackets); that's very important IMO. ;-)
Non-ProZ.com Jul 2, 2005:
I also thought "commerical register number" might be the right term. However, Google only offers 1620 hits (compared to 218,000 for Handelsregisternummer) and most of them are Austrian and German. Therefore, I concluded it's not the standard term used in the US.

agree RobinB : you could conceivably add "company registration number" if it would aid understanding in this particular situation.
