What CEIDG is and what an extract proves
CEIDG (Centralna Ewidencja i Informacja o Działalności Gospodarczej) is Poland’s register of individuals running a business in their own name.
Sole traders, not companies
Companies belong in the KRS; a one-person business belongs in CEIDG. For a company, use our KRS extract service.
What an entry shows
The entrepreneur’s name, business name, NIP and REGON, address, PKD activity codes, the start date, and dates of suspension, resumption or closure.
What it proves
That a named person is registered to run a business in Poland, since when, from what address and in what scope: the equivalent of a company registration certificate.
Activity codes matter
Some contracts and tenders require the registered scope to cover the work commissioned. An activity outside the registered codes can create problems for both sides.
Suspended or closed
Sole traders suspend their businesses often, and a suspended entry can look like an active one at first glance. Closed entries remain in the register.
Acceptance abroad
We cannot guarantee acceptance by a bank or foreign authority. Its document requirements must be checked with it directly.
Before you order
Short answers to the questions we hear most often.
Legal basis and official sources
- Act of 6 March 2018 on CEIDG (ustawa o Centralnej Ewidencji i Informacji o Działalności Gospodarczej), art. 5, 45 and 46

What does a CEIDG extract prove?
That a named person is registered to run a business in Poland, from when, at what address, and under which activity codes.
Is a CEIDG printout an official document?
Yes. A printout from the CEIDG register is an official document and needs no signature or seal. Check whether the recipient accepts it in that form; if it has to be prepared for use abroad, we handle that.
Can the extract carry an apostille?
The entrepreneur can ask the ministry responsible for the economy to confirm a CEIDG printout so that it can be certified with an apostille. If the business is not yours, we explain what can be obtained before you pay.
Can you confirm whether a contractor is still active?
Yes. The entry shows the current status, including suspension or closure.
What if the business was closed years ago?
Closed entries remain in the register. We can retrieve them along with the closure date.
