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.

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?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official official Iceland register service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact registration number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Iceland company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Iceland 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 Iceland companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact registration 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 Iceland?▾
Search the exact registration 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 Iceland company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the official Iceland 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.
