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

    To check if a company is registered in Luxembourg, search its exact registration number or legal name on RCS Luxembourg (https://www.lbr.lu). Compare the identifier and available identity fields before reading the recorded status. A name-only match is a candidate, not confirmation. Official access requirements and document fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open the official RCS Luxembourg

      Go to https://www.lbr.lu. This is the primary government-operated source.

      https://www.lbr.lu
    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Use the legal name or identifier supported by RCS Luxembourg. Trading-name and partial-name searches are not universal.

    3. 3

      Check status and legal name

      Compare the exact identifier and legal name. Preserve the source's status wording: historical and dissolved entities can still have registry records.

    4. 4

      Cross-check the registered address

      Compare the available registered address with the counterparty's documents. A registered office can differ legitimately from a trading address; clarify the difference rather than treating it as evidence of misconduct.

    5. 5

      Download the official extract (optional)

      Most registers let you download a formal extract or certificate. Use this for KYC, procurement, or contract files.

    Luxembourg: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use Luxembourg Business Registers for the RCS entity and available filed documents. Keep an RCS check separate from any beneficial-ownership inquiry, which can have different access conditions.
    Confirm the entity
    Match the full RCS identifier, including its section letter, with the legal name and legal form. Similar names or group membership are not sufficient to select the contracting entity.

    Check current access and document options on the official RCS (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the Luxembourg registry guide.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    Search the exact registration number on RCS Luxembourg at https://www.lbr.lu, then compare the legal name and available identity details. Read the status and its date in the source's own terminology. Name similarity alone does not confirm the entity.

    How can I check if a Luxembourg company is still active?

    Read the status on the exact entity's RCS Luxembourg record, preserving its wording and retrieval date. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution: an entity can remain registered while undergoing liquidation. A registry status is not a solvency or trustworthiness assessment.

    Is a Luxembourg company with a website automatically registered?

    No. A website, email domain or invoice letterhead proves nothing. The only authoritative proof is a current entry in RCS Luxembourg with a matching legal name and registration number.

    What proves a Luxembourg company is legally registered?

    An entry in RCS Luxembourg with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by RCS Luxembourg is the authoritative identifier.

    Why is Luxembourg a financial hub?

    Luxembourg offers political stability, a multilingual workforce, favorable holding company and fund regimes, extensive double taxation treaty network (80+ countries), and is the EU's largest domicile for investment funds (over €5 trillion AUM).

    Is the Luxembourg company register free to search?

    Yes. Basic company lookups on the RCS (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) are free — you can search by company name or registration number, view legal status, registered address and (usually) directors at no cost. Some jurisdictions charge a small fee only for downloading full filed documents.

    What is the official Luxembourg business registry?

    The RCS (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) is the official public register of companies incorporated in Luxembourg. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://www.lbr.lu.

    How can I check if a Luxembourg company is legitimate?

    Look the company up on the RCS (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés). If the entity returns an "active" (or equivalent local status) result, matches the registered address on its invoices, and its listed directors match who is signing your contract, it is a real registered entity. Anything reported as "dissolved", "struck off" or "in liquidation" should be treated with caution.

    What information can I get about a Luxembourg company for free?

    Free public data from the RCS (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) typically includes: legal name, registration number, incorporation date, registered address, current status, business type, and current directors / officers. Historical filings and certified copies may carry a small fee.
