Search Firmenbuch at the official source
Start with Firmenbuch for Austria. LemReveal has not established an available native register search for this page; indexed or secondary records are not complete register coverage.
Official access and fees vary. A human request is an enquiry, not a guaranteed extract or completed purchase.
How do I search the company register in Austria?
Start with Firmenbuch (https://www.justiz.gv.at) for Austria company records. Use the supported legal-name or identifier search and inspect available fields, such as FN number (Firmenbuchnummer), Company name, Legal form. Official searches, documents and APIs have separate access rules; LemReveal's free lookup does not remove those conditions.
Step-by-step
- 1
Know which register holds the record
In Austria, company records sit on Firmenbuch. Trade directories and aggregator sites are copies — the register is the source of truth.

Search by name or registration number
Use the exact identifier with its issuing register or jurisdiction. Name searches can return several candidates; a number is not a guarantee that the source is available or covers the record.
- 3
Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows FN number (Firmenbuchnummer), Company name, Legal form. That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.

Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
