How do I check whether a company is still active in Iceland?
Identify the exact company in Ríkisskattstjóri (RSK), then record its status, source and retrieval date. Active registration does not prove current trading or financial health. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution; interpret each status using the official register's terminology.
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the company
Search by name or registration number to open the correct record.
- 2
Read the status field
Preserve the exact status wording and its effective date where supplied. Consult the official explanation; a non-active label is not by itself a fraud verdict or a complete legal opinion.
- 3
Check the available filing dates
Distinguish the document date, status effective date and retrieval date. Filing schedules vary by entity and jurisdiction, so a gap is a question to investigate rather than proof of non-compliance.
