Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a company is registered in Croatia?
Search the company's name or registration number on Sudski registar at https://sudreg.pravosudje.hr. A matching entry with an "active" or equivalent status confirms the company is currently registered. The check is free and needs no account.
How can I check if a Croatia company is still active?
Read the status field on the company's Sudski registar record. "Active"/"registered" means it is currently on the register; "dissolved", "struck off" or "liquidation" means it is not. Also check the most recent filing date — a nominally active entity years behind on filings is a warning sign.

No. A website, email domain or invoice letterhead proves nothing. The only authoritative proof is a current entry in Sudski registar with a matching legal name and registration number.
What proves a Croatia company is legally registered?
An entry in Sudski registar with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by Sudski registar is the authoritative identifier.
