How do I get an official company extract in Poland?
An official Poland KRS odpis is issued by KRS / CEIDG at https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl. Free public search covers most verification needs; a paid certified KRS odpis is normally only required for banking, tenders, court filings or notarised transactions.
Step-by-step
- 1
Confirm the entity first
Search by name or registration number and confirm you have the right legal entity before paying for anything.

Decide whether you need a certified copy
For internal due diligence, the free public record is usually sufficient. Certified extracts are for banks, tender submissions, courts and notaries.

Request the extract from KRS / CEIDG
Extracts are issued by the register itself at https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl. Third parties cannot issue a certified document.

Check the issue date
Most counterparties require an extract issued within the last three months, so request it close to when you need to submit it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid extract to verify a Poland company?
Usually not. The free public record from KRS / CEIDG confirms legal name, registration number, status and registered address. A certified extract is only needed when a bank, court or tender explicitly requires one.
What does a Poland company extract contain?
Typically the legal name, registration number, incorporation date, registered address, entity type and current status — the same core fields visible in the free record, but issued as an official document.
Can a third-party site issue an official extract?
No. Only KRS / CEIDG can issue a certified extract for Poland. Third-party tools help you find and monitor the record, not certify it.
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.
