- 3
Filter Results and View Basic Data
Select the correct entity to view the registration date, address, legal form, and current status. VAT registration status (virðisaukaskattur) is often listed separately.
Who uses this data
Due diligence teams, legal professionals, and financial analysts assessing Icelandic maritime, energy, and tech sectors. It is also critical for compliance officers verifying corporate structures in Iceland's highly transparent business environment.
Access, fees & notes
Icelandic 'kennitala' for companies always begins with the digit 4, 5, 6, or 7 to distinguish them from personal ID numbers which start with the birth date. The registry is known for its high level of digitalization and ease of access.
Cost & access
Basic search for current status and ID numbers is free. Formal certificates and historical data may require a small fee.
Local-language glossary
- Einkahlutafélag (Ehf.)
- A private limited company, the most common business form in Iceland.
- Hlutafélag (Hf.)
- A public limited company, typically used for larger entities intended for public trading.
- Kennitala (Kt.)
- A unique 10-digit national identification number assigned to every person and legal entity.

- Virðisaukaskattur (VSK)
- The Icelandic Value Added Tax (VAT); registry records often indicate if a company is active on the VSK register.
Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Using a person's kennitala instead of the company's.
✓ Ensure the first digit of the 10-digit number is within the range used for legal entities (typically 4-7).
✗ Assuming commercial status means the company is currently active for VAT.
✓ Check the specific 'VSK-númer' status, as a company can exist in the registry without being active for VAT purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kennitala?▾
Kennitala is Iceland's universal identification number, used for both individuals and companies. For companies, it's a 10-digit number. It's the primary identifier for all official and business purposes in Iceland.
What is an Ehf.?▾
Ehf. (Einkahlutafélag) is Iceland's private limited company, equivalent to a Ltd. Minimum share capital is ISK 500,000 (about €3,300). It's the most common company type in Iceland.
How small is Iceland's business environment?▾
Iceland has about 40,000 registered companies for 370,000 people — roughly 1 company per 9 people. The small market means businesses are highly interconnected, and personal networks play a significant role.
Is Icelandic company data available in English?▾
Registry interfaces are primarily in Icelandic. Some commercial databases provide English-language access to Icelandic company data. The RSK has limited English-language resources.
How do I search for a company in Iceland by name?▾
Type the company name into the search box above. Results come from the official Iceland register and show the registered name, registration number, status and registered address. Partial names work — searching "acme" returns every registered entity whose name starts with it.
Is the Iceland company register free to search?▾
Yes. Searching by company name or registration number is free here and on the official Iceland 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 Iceland companies by registration number?▾
Yes. Enter the registration 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 Iceland?▾
Search the name or registration number above. If the business is on the official Iceland 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 Iceland company is still active?▾
Each record carries the status the official Iceland 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.
