    How do I use Registro Mercantil Central for free in Spain?

    LemReveal's basic registry lookup is free. The official Registro Mercantil Central service at https://www.rmc.es 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 Registro Mercantil Central

      Go to https://www.rmc.es 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.

    Spain: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Start with the legal name, NIF and province. The Registro Mercantil Central and provincial registers have different functions; follow the official document route to the register holding the company's file rather than treating name availability as incorporation evidence.
    Confirm the entity
    CIF is the older name often used for a company's NIF. Compare the exact legal entity and province; an ES-prefixed VAT check answers a tax question and is not a replacement for the commercial-register entry.
