    How do I use e-Business Register (Äriregister) for free in Estonia?

    LemReveal's basic registry lookup is free. The official e-Business Register (Äriregister) service at https://ariregister.rik.ee has its own access rules: distinguish basic search, officer information, filed documents, certified extracts and API access. Do not assume these are all free or available without an account.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open e-Business Register (Äriregister)

      Go to https://ariregister.rik.ee and check the official search and access options.

    2. 2

      Check basic-search access

      Determine whether the required entity search is public, requires an account or carries a search fee. Do not confuse a free search-results list with a full company extract.

    3. 3

      Check the fields you need

      Find out whether officers, addresses and historical filings are included in the public result or require a separate document.

    4. 4

      Check document and API charges

      Review the official terms for extracts, certified copies, filings and data services. A free web lookup does not imply a free API or certification.

    Estonia: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use the e-Business Register and search the exact registry code where possible. Open the entity record before selecting a report or historical entry; the company profile and a filed annual report have different dates and scope.
    Confirm the entity
    Match the registry code, legal name and legal form. Distinguish a management-board member from a shareholder and read the available representation rules. e-Residency is an identity programme, not the company's registry status.
