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

    Use the exact REA with its issuing jurisdiction or register on Registro Imprese. 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 REA on the paperwork

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

    2. 2

      Search the REA

      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 Registro Imprese

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

    Italy: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use Registro Imprese, the official Chamber of Commerce system, for an Italian company record. Check its current search and document options. A partita IVA tax check is not the same product as a visura camerale or a registration certificate.
    Confirm the entity
    Compare the legal name, codice fiscale, partita IVA and REA details where available. Keep the Chamber or province with the REA number. Do not assume a person's tax code, a branch and a company all identify the same entity.

    Check current access and document options on the official Registro Imprese / InfoCamere site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the Italy registry guide.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a REA in Italy?

    It is the identifier Registro Imprese 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 REA lookup free?

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

    What if the REA 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 REA or the company name?

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

    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.
