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

    To check if a company is registered in Romania, search its exact registration number or legal name on ONRC (https://www.onrc.ro). 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 ONRC

      Go to https://www.onrc.ro. This is the primary government-operated source.

    2. 2

      Search by name or number

      Use the legal name or identifier supported by ONRC. 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.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    Search the exact registration number on ONRC at https://www.onrc.ro, 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 Romania company is still active?

    Read the status on the exact entity's ONRC 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 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.

    The exact questions searchers type into Google — answered from the primary source.

    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.
