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

    To check if a company is registered in Poland, search its exact registration number or legal name on KRS / CEIDG (https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl). 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 KRS / CEIDG

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

    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Use the legal name or identifier supported by KRS / CEIDG. 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.

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    Search the exact registration number on KRS / CEIDG at https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl, 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 Poland company is still active?

    Read the status on the exact entity's KRS / CEIDG 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 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.
