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

    To check if a company is registered in Poland, search its name or registration number on KRS / CEIDG (https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl). An "active" status plus a matching legal name confirms the entity is currently registered. All basic verification is free.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Open the official KRS / CEIDG

      Go to https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl. This is the primary government-operated source.

    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Enter the trading name or the registration number. KRS / CEIDG 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.

    4. 4

      Cross-check the registered address

      Compare the registered office address on KRS / CEIDG with the address the company advertises. Mismatches are the fastest signal something is off.

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    Search the company's name or registration number on KRS / CEIDG at https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl. 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 Poland company is still active?

    Read the status field on the company's KRS / CEIDG 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.

    Is a Poland 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 KRS / CEIDG with a matching legal name and registration number.

    What proves a Poland company is legally registered?

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

    What is a sp. z o.o.?

    Sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) is Poland's limited liability company, equivalent to a GmbH or Ltd. Minimum share capital is PLN 5,000 (about €1,100). It's the most popular company form for small and medium businesses.

    Is the Poland company register free to search?

    Yes. Basic company lookups on the KRS / CEIDG 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 Poland business registry?

    The KRS / CEIDG is the official public register of companies incorporated in Poland. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl.

    How can I check if a Poland company is legitimate?

    Look the company up on the KRS / CEIDG. 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 Poland company for free?

    Free public data from the KRS / CEIDG 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.
