Search the France Company Register by Name

SIREN is a unique 9-digit identifier assigned to every French business by INSEE. The SIRET is a 14-digit extension (SIREN + 5-digit establishment code) that identifies each individual establishment or branch of a company.

SARL (Société à responsabilité limitée) is similar to an LLC — structured, with fixed rules about management. SAS (Société par actions simplifiée) offers much more flexibility in governance and is increasingly preferred by startups and tech companies. SAS now accounts for over 60% of new company formations in France.

Basic company data is freely available through the API Entreprise (api.gouv.fr) and Pappers.fr. Infogreffe provides more detailed filings including annual accounts and legal announcements, some of which require a fee.

Yes. French intra-community VAT numbers follow the format FR + 2 digits + SIREN number. You can verify them through the EU VIES system or through the French tax authority (DGFiP).

Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the Registre du Commerce and show the registered name, SIREN number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.

Yes. Searching by company name or SIREN number is free here and on the official France register — no account or payment is required for a basic lookup. Certified extracts and filed documents may carry a fee on the official register.

Yes. Enter the SIREN 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.

Search the name or SIREN number above. If the business is on the Registre du Commerce, 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.

Each record carries the status the Registre du Commerce 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.

Search the company name above. Each result shows its SIREN number alongside the registered name, status and address, sourced from the Registre du Commerce.

Both identify a business on the Registre du Commerce, but they are issued for different purposes and are not interchangeable. A company can appear under either — searching by name returns both where they exist.
