    How do I search the business registry in Romania?

    The Romania business registry is operated by ONRC. It covers SRL (Societate cu răspundere limitată). Search by business name to find the registered entity behind a trading name — free, no signup.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Search the trading name you were given

      Start with the name on the invoice, website or contract. It is often a trading name rather than the registered legal name.

    2. 2

      Identify the legal entity behind it

      ONRC records the legal entity. Matching a trading name to its registered entity is the whole point of a registry search — the two are frequently different.

    3. 3

      Check the entity type

      Romania recognises SRL (Societate cu răspundere limitată). Entity type determines liability and who is legally responsible, so it matters before you contract.

    4. 4

      Note what the registry does not cover

      Sole traders and unregistered activity may not appear at all. An absent record is not automatically proof of fraud — it can simply mean the business is not required to register.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does the Romania business registry cover?

    ONRC records SRL (Societate cu răspundere limitată). Businesses that are not legally required to register — commonly small sole traders — may not appear.

    What if a Romania business has no registry entry?

    What is a CUI?

    CUI (Cod Unic de Identificare) is the unique identification code assigned to every Romanian business. It's a numeric code used for all tax and commercial interactions. When prefixed with 'RO', it also serves as the VAT number.
