Estonia: choosing and checking the right record
- Choose the correct source
- Use the e-Business Register and search the exact registry code where possible. Open the entity record before selecting a report or historical entry; the company profile and a filed annual report have different dates and scope.
- Confirm the entity
- Match the registry code, legal name and legal form. Distinguish a management-board member from a shareholder and read the available representation rules. e-Residency is an identity programme, not the company's registry status.
- When the search returns nothing
- Try the legal name, former name and exact registry code. Separate a source outage or inaccessible document from a confirmed no-match. Ask for the contracting entity rather than assuming a product or website name is registered as a company.
- What the record cannot establish
- The former €2,500 OÜ capital minimum was removed in February 2023; the minimum is €0.01 per shareholder with contribution at formation. Registered capital and an active registry status do not establish solvency or actual trading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OÜ?▾
An OÜ (Osaühing) is an Estonian private limited company. Since 1 February 2023 the minimum share capital is €0.01 per shareholder, with contribution at formation. The former €2,500 minimum no longer applies. Online formation requires the applicable identification and registration steps; it is not a guaranteed 18-minute process.
What is e-Residency?▾
e-Residency is a digital identity issued by Estonia to non-residents, allowing them to start and manage an Estonian company remotely. Over 100,000 e-Residents from 170+ countries have used this program. It does not grant physical residency or tax residency.
How digital is the Estonian registry?▾
Estonia's e-Business Register is fully digital. Companies can be formed, annual reports filed, and shareholder changes made entirely online using digital signatures. No physical paperwork is required at any point.
Is Estonian company data free?▾
Yes. The e-Business Register provides free access to company details, board members, share capital, and annual report data. Estonia's open data policy makes it one of the most transparent registries globally.
How do I search for a company in Estonia by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official e-Business Register service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact Reg. code number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Estonia company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Estonia 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 Estonia companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact Reg. code 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 Estonia?▾
Search the exact Reg. code 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 Estonia company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the e-Business Register 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 Reg. code number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official e-Business Register route. Record the Reg. code only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
