How to search the Firmenbuch
- 1
Access via Justiz Online
The official portal for the Austrian Ministry of Justice allows for simple searches by company name or 'FN' number (Firmenbuchnummer).
- 2
Verify Legal Entity Details
Identify the regional court (Landesgericht) where the company is registered to ensure you are viewing the correct history.
- 3
Select Document Type
Choose between a 'Aktueller Auszug' (current excerpt) or 'Historischer Auszug' (historical excerpt) for a full audit trail of changes.
Who uses this data
Legal professionals conducting due diligence, credit risk analysts assessing Austrian SMEs, and compliance officers verifying the identity of managing directors (Geschäftsführer) for KYC requirements.
Access, fees & notes
Unlike the German register, which transitioned to free access for many documents in 2022, the Austrian Firmenbuch remains strictly fee-based for official excerpts. Access is typically managed through 'Verrechnungsstellen' (authorized clearing houses).
Cost & access
Search for identification is generally free on certain portals, but all official excerpts and document copies require payment per item.
Local-language glossary
- Firmenbuchnummer (FN)
- The unique identification number assigned to every company in the Austrian commercial register.
- Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH)
- The most common limited liability company form in Austria.
- Firmenbuchauszug
- An official extract or excerpt from the commercial register containing legal entity data.
- Einzelunternehmen (e.U.)
- A registered sole proprietorship.
- Offene Gesellschaft (OG)
- A general partnership where all partners have unlimited liability.
Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Using the 'WKO Firmen A-Z' as a legally binding source.
✓ While the WKO directory is free, it is a business directory; legally binding information must be obtained via an official Firmenbuchauszug.
✗ Expecting free document downloads as in the German portal.
✓ Budget for statutory fees; every official query in the Austrian registry incurs a cost based on the justice fee schedule (Gerichtsgebührengesetz).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GmbH in Austria?▾
Austrian GmbH is a limited liability company requiring minimum €35,000 share capital (€17,500 for founding privilege). It's the most common company form. Austrian GmbH law is similar to but distinct from German GmbH law.
How do I access the Firmenbuch?▾
The Firmenbuch can be searched through the Austrian justice portal (justiz.gv.at). Basic searches are free. Full extracts cost around €3–€7.
What is the founding privilege?▾
Since 2014, Austrian GmbH founders can use a reduced minimum capital of €10,000 (€5,000 paid up) for the first 10 years through the Gründungsprivilegierung (founding privilege), making it cheaper to start a company.
Can I access Austrian annual reports?▾
Yes. All Austrian companies must file annual financial statements, which are publicly accessible through the Firmenbuch. Medium and large companies file detailed reports.
How do I search for a company in Austria by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official Firmenbuch service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact FN number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Austria company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Austria register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Austria companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact FN number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Austria?▾
Search the exact FN number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Austria company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the Firmenbuch supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's FN number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official Firmenbuch route. Record the FN only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.

What is this number?
Paste any business identifier — VAT, LEI, company number, DUNS, ABN, CNPJ, CIN, CIK — and we will tell you what it is and who issues it. Where this decoder supports the identifier's check digit, it also validates it; other results are clearly marked as format-only matches.
