    How do I look up a company by its registration number in Austria?

    Use the exact FN with its issuing jurisdiction or register on Firmenbuch. Compare the returned legal name and identifier. A valid-looking number does not guarantee a result: coverage, formatting, access and source availability affect the lookup.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Find the FN on the paperwork

      The FN normally appears on invoices, contracts, the website footer or official correspondence. It is the number counterparties are required to quote.

    2. 2

      Search the FN

      Preserve leading zeros, letters, court and jurisdiction information. Follow the source's documented format rather than removing meaningful parts to force a match.

    3. 3

      Confirm the returned entity

      Check the legal name on the returned record matches the name on your paperwork. A mismatch between quoted number and quoted name is a serious warning sign.

    4. 4

      Verify at Firmenbuch

      For anything contractual, confirm the number against the primary source at https://www.justiz.gv.at.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a FN in Austria?

    It is the identifier Firmenbuch assigns to a registered entity. It stays with the entity even if the trading name changes, which makes it the reliable way to track a company over time.

    Is a FN lookup free?

    LemReveal's basic lookup is free where supported. Check Firmenbuch's official access rules for the record or document required.

    What if the FN returns no result?

    Check the format, issuing jurisdiction, coverage and source availability. Preserve meaningful prefixes and leading zeros. An unavailable source is not a confirmed absence; ask the counterparty to clarify the identifier.

    Should I use the FN or the company name?

    The FN. Names are duplicated across entities within a group; the number is unique to one entity.

    What is a GmbH in Austria?

    Austrian GmbH is a limited liability company requiring minimum €35,000 share capital (€17,500 for founding privilege). It's the most common company form. Austrian GmbH law is similar to but distinct from German GmbH law.
