How do I check if a company is registered in Romania?
To check if a company is registered in Romania, search its name or registration number on ONRC (https://www.onrc.ro). An "active" status plus a matching legal name confirms the entity is currently registered. All basic verification is free.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a company is registered in Romania?
Search the company's name or registration number on ONRC at https://www.onrc.ro. 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 Romania company is still active?
Read the status field on the company's ONRC 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 Romania 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 ONRC with a matching legal name and registration number.
What proves a Romania company is legally registered?
An entry in ONRC with an "active" or equivalent status is the definitive proof. The registration number returned by ONRC is the authoritative identifier.
What is a CUI?
CUI (Cod Unic de Identificare) is the unique identification code assigned to every Romanian business. It's a numeric code used for all tax and commercial interactions. When prefixed with 'RO', it also serves as the VAT number.

Is the Romania company register free to search?
Yes. Basic company lookups on the ONRC 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 Romania business registry?
The ONRC is the official public register of companies incorporated in Romania. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://www.onrc.ro.
How can I check if a Romania company is legitimate?
Look the company up on the ONRC. 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 Romania company for free?
Free public data from the ONRC 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.
