    How do I check if a company is registered in Latvia?

    To check if a company is registered in Latvia, search its name or registration number on Uzņēmumu reģistrs (UR) (https://www.ur.gov.lv). An "active" status plus a matching legal name confirms the entity is currently registered. All basic verification is free.

    Step-by-step

      Open the official Uzņēmumu reģistrs (UR)

      Go to https://www.ur.gov.lv. This is the primary government-operated source.

      Enter the trading name or the registration number. Uzņēmumu reģistrs (UR) returns exact and near matches.

    3. 3

      Check status and legal name

      A registered company shows an "active"/"registered" status and a legal name that matches the entity you're checking.

      Cross-check the registered address

      Compare the registered office address on Uzņēmumu reģistrs (UR) with the address the company advertises. Mismatches are the fastest signal something is off.

Also check the most recent filing date — a nominally active entity years behind on filings is a warning sign.
