How do I search for a company by name in Poland?
Search the legal name on KRS / CEIDG, or use LemReveal's free basic lookup where supported. Treat name matches as candidates until the exact identifier and available identity details agree. Fields such as KRS number, NIP (tax ID), REGON (statistical number), Company name depend on the source; official access and fees vary.
Step-by-step
- 1
Enter the legal name
Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.
- 2
Narrow ambiguous matches
Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (Sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością), S.A. (Spółka akcyjna), Sp.k. (Spółka komandytowa)) to identify the right one.
- 3
Open the candidate record
Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.

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.
Check current access and document options on the official KRS / CEIDG site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the Poland registry guide.
