Request nowTwo registers, two kinds of business
Poland splits business registration in two. Companies, foundations and associations go in the KRS, the court register. Individuals trading in their own name go in CEIDG. Looking in the wrong one is the most common reason a search comes back empty.
Both are public. Anyone may obtain an extract for any entity without giving a reason — unlike civil status records, where entitlement has to be proven.
What due diligence actually needs
A current extract tells you the situation today. A full extract tells you the history: every change of board, capital, shareholder and address since registration, including deleted entries.
For a transaction, the section on representation is the one that decides enforceability. It states not just who the directors are but how the company may be bound — one signature, two jointly, or a director with a commercial proxy. A contract signed without the required combination may not bind the company at all.
Tax numbers alongside
A NIP confirmation is often requested with a register extract, because foreign accountants and banks need the tax identity documented separately. NIP identifies a taxpayer, REGON is a statistical number, PESEL identifies a person — three identifiers that are routinely confused in cross-border paperwork.
When people need these documents
Due diligence before contracting; verifying that a supplier is real and active; tenders and procurement; court and enforcement proceedings; bank and payment onboarding; and checking whether a counterparty that stopped responding has been liquidated.
Getting the identification right
Polish company names are not unique nationally, and similar names are common. The KRS number removes all doubt; failing that, the NIP or exact registered address will do. We confirm which entity you mean before ordering anything.
Common questions
What is the difference between KRS and CEIDG?
KRS is the court register for companies and other legal entities. CEIDG registers individuals running a business in their own name.
Which extract does due diligence need?
Usually a full historical KRS extract — it lists every change of ownership, board and capital since registration.
Do you need the register number?
It helps, but the company name and town are normally enough for us to identify the right entity.
