Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OÜ?▾
OÜ (Osaühing) is Estonia's private limited company, the most popular entity type. Minimum share capital is €2,500 (can be contributed after registration). OÜs can be formed entirely online in about 18 minutes through the e-Business Register.
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?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the e-Business Register and show the registered name, Reg. code number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Estonia company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or Reg. code number is free here and on the official Estonia register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.
Can I search Estonia companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the Reg. code number instead of the name and the lookup resolves it directly to the matching record, which is the fastest way to confirm an identifier printed on an invoice or contract.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Estonia?▾
Search the name or Reg. code number above. If the business is on the e-Business Register, the record appears with its registered name and identifier. If nothing is returned, the name as spelled is not on the register — try a partial name or the number printed on the invoice or contract before concluding the business is unregistered.
How can I tell if a Estonia company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the e-Business Register publishes for that entity. Registration status is a factual register field, not a judgement about the business — for ongoing certainty you can watch a record and be emailed when its registered details change.
How do I find a company's Reg. code number?▾
Search the company name above. Each result shows its Reg. code number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the e-Business Register.
