    How do I get an official company extract in Poland?

    Start with KRS / CEIDG at https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl to identify the entity and available KRS odpis. An ordinary extract, historical filing and certified copy are different documents. Check the recipient's requirements and official access conditions before ordering. A LemReveal PDF is not a government-certified extract.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Confirm the entity first

      Search by name or registration number and confirm you have the right legal entity before paying for anything.

    2. 2

      Choose the evidence required

      Ask the recipient whether it needs an ordinary extract, historical filing, certified copy, translation or legalisation. A free summary is not automatically sufficient.

    3. 3

      Follow the official document route

      Use https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl to find the issuing authority or authorised service and its current fees. Check what the document actually certifies.

    4. 4

      Check the issue date

      Ask what issue date the recipient accepts; there is no universal three-month validity period. Retain the issue date, retrieval date and source.

    Poland: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Choose KRS for entities within the National Court Register and CEIDG for sole-trader registration. Use the official government search routes rather than assuming every Polish business must have a KRS record.
    Confirm the entity
    Keep KRS, NIP and REGON numbers distinct. Compare the full legal name and available address with the contracting entity. Read representation rules separately from the list of management-board members.

    Official KRS guidance

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need a paid extract to verify a Poland company?

    Compare available public information with official document options and the recipient's requirements. Free lookup does not guarantee complete or certified evidence.

    What does a Poland company extract contain?

    Contents vary by document. Check whether it covers current identity, officers, representation or historical filings. A registration certificate does not necessarily describe today's appointments.

    Is a LemReveal PDF an official extract?

    No. It is a third-party research record. Obtain an official or certified document through the relevant authority or authorised service when required.

    What is a sp. z o.o.?

    Sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) is Poland's limited liability company, equivalent to a GmbH or Ltd. Minimum share capital is PLN 5,000 (about €1,100). It's the most popular company form for small and medium businesses.
