How do I check whether a company is still active in Italy?
Search the company by name or registration number and read its status field. On Registro Imprese, an "active" or "registered" status means the entity is currently on the register; "dissolved", "struck off" or "liquidation" means it is not trading legally.
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the company
Search by name or registration number to open the correct record.
- 2
Read the status field
The status is the register's own verdict on whether the entity currently exists. Treat anything other than active/registered as a red flag before contracting.
- 3
Check the last filing date
An entity can be nominally active but years behind on filings. A long gap since the last filing is a warning sign even when the status reads active.
- 4
Confirm at the source
Status changes propagate from Registro Imprese at https://www.registroimprese.it. For a decision with money attached, confirm there.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a Italy company is still trading?
The register's status field is the authoritative answer. An active/registered status on Registro Imprese means the entity is currently on the register. It does not by itself prove the business is operating, so also check the most recent filing date.
What does "dissolved" or "struck off" mean?
The entity has been removed from the register and can no longer legally trade or enter into contracts. Any invoice or agreement issued under that name after removal should be treated as invalid.
Is checking company status in Italy free?
Yes — status is part of the free public record on Registro Imprese. No account is needed.
What is an SRL?
SRL (Società a responsabilità limitata) is Italy's limited liability company, similar to a GmbH or Ltd. It requires minimum €10,000 share capital (or €1 for the simplified SRLS variant). SRL is the most popular company form in Italy.
