How do I find the directors and officers of a company in France?
To research company directors in France, identify the exact company in Infogreffe at https://www.infogreffe.fr, then check available officer records, extracts or filings. Coverage, access and fees vary by entity and source. A named officer is not automatically an owner or an authorised signatory for every transaction.
Step-by-step

Go to https://www.infogreffe.fr and search by name or registration number.
https://www.infogreffe.fr - 2
Find available officer evidence
Inspect the available officers section or relevant filing. Where the profile omits officers, check official document options and access rules; do not infer missing appointments.
- 3
Record the role and dates
Preserve the source's role description, appointment or resignation date where supplied, and the filing date. Directors, managers, representatives and beneficial owners are not interchangeable roles.

Check the document's scope
Save the source URL and retrieval date. If the decision requires signing authority or a certified document, check those requirements separately; an officer-name match alone is not sufficient.
France: choosing and checking the right record
- Choose the correct source
- Identify the legal unit with its SIREN, then distinguish it from a particular establishment identified by SIRET. Use the relevant official register or document service for the company's filings and extract.
- Confirm the entity
- A SIREN has nine digits; a SIRET has 14 and identifies an establishment. Compare legal form, registered name and headquarters before matching a branch address to an invoice.

Frequently asked questions
Are France company directors public information?
Check the exact entity's available Infogreffe record and official document options. Public officer coverage and disclosed personal information vary; neither every entity nor every appointment is necessarily accessible free of charge.
How do I check a company's directors in France?
Confirm the registration number first, then inspect available officers or relevant filings on Infogreffe (https://www.infogreffe.fr). Record roles and dates only where supplied; distinguish a current officer entry from an older filing.
Can I run a directorship search by a person's name in France?
Most registers, including Infogreffe, index by company rather than by person. The reliable route is to open each company's record and read its officer list. Where a register does offer an officer-name index, it appears as a separate search on the official site.
Where can I find a France company's board free of charge?
Start with the public information available on Infogreffe (https://www.infogreffe.fr). If officer information is not supplied, check whether an official extract or filing is required and what it costs. Free access is not universal.
How current is director data on Infogreffe?
Check the appointment dates, document dates and source retrieval date where available. Reporting delays, historical filings and cached results can differ from the current appointment state; do not describe an old document as a live officer list.
