Romanian Company Checker

What does Romanian Company Checker do?

Romanian Company Checker verifies Romanian companies in bulk against ANAF, the Romanian tax authority, straight from its live register. Give it a list of CUIs or VAT numbers and for each one you get back the legal name, address, registry number, VAT status, fiscal inactivity, e-Factura registration, and up to five years of financial statements: net turnover, profit or loss, and average headcount.

The financial history is the part nobody else offers. A company that looks fine on paper but lost money three years running, or slid from 200 employees to 30, tells you something no name-and-address lookup ever will.

• Data comes from ANAF's own web service, the same one the state runs for banks and accountants. No scraping of web pages, no proxies, no headless browser.
• Rows that cannot be matched are free. You only pay for entities we actually resolve.
• Typos never reach the register: every CUI is validated against its checksum locally first, and a failed checksum is reported as such, free of charge.

Why fiscal inactivity matters

Romania has a status called inactiv fiscal. A fiscally inactive supplier still legally exists and can still send you invoices, but you cannot deduct VAT from those invoices. Pay one and the tax loss is yours. ANAF publishes the status, the activation date and the reactivation date, and this actor turns it into a plain risk flag on the row.

The same goes for removal from the register (radiere), the VAT-on-collection scheme, and disagreements between ANAF and the EU VIES system. Every VAT payer is cross-checked against VIES as a second, independent source, and if the two registers disagree, the row says so instead of picking one silently.

Natural persons are not companies

The Romanian register also contains sole traders and family businesses under the same identifier scheme, listed by their personal names. This actor tells the two apart using the registry number prefix and the legal form, and when the entity is a natural person, the name and address are withheld by design. You still learn that the CUI exists, whether it is active and whether it pays VAT. When the register does not say which it is, the row is marked uncertain rather than guessed.

Input

{
  "companies": [
    "RO1590082",
    "14399840",
    { "cui": "2816464", "reference": "supplier-42" }
  ],
  "financialYears": 3,
  "includeVies": true
}

Strings and objects can be mixed freely. The optional reference is returned unchanged so you can join results back to your own system.

Output

One row per submitted company:

{
  "input": "RO1590082",
  "matched": true,
  "entityType": "legal_entity",
  "cui": "1590082",
  "vatNumber": "RO1590082",
  "name": "OMV PETROM SA",
  "address": "MUN. BUCUREŞTI, SECT. 1, STR. CORALILOR, NR. 22",
  "registryNumber": "J1997008302407",
  "companyActive": true,
  "fiscallyInactive": false,
  "vatPayer": true,
  "vatValidVies": true,
  "eFacturaRegistered": true,
  "financials": [
    { "year": 2025, "netTurnover": 21550000000, "netProfit": 2900000000, "employees": 10500 }
  ],
  "riskFlags": [],
  "provenance": [
    { "source": "ANAF", "sourceUrl": "https://webservicesp.anaf.ro/api/PlatitorTvaRest/v9/tva", "ok": true }
  ]
}

Every value carries provenance: which register said it, at which URL, and when. If a source was down, the affected fields are null rather than silently wrong, and the provenance row says why.

Watch a list for changes

Checking a supplier once is useful. Checking the same list every morning and reading only what changed is what keeps you out of trouble. Give the run a watch name (or save it as a task and schedule it) and every later run compares its results with the previous one: a company that turned inactive, a new risk flag, a VAT registration cancelled, a published account that disappeared. The differences are stored in the CHANGES record of the run, ready for an integration or an email. The comparison itself is free.

Speed and limits

ANAF accepts batches of hundreds of companies per request, so identity checks are fast even for long lists. Financial statements are one request per company per year and the register asks for one request per second, which the actor respects. As a rule of thumb: identity for 1,000 companies takes about a minute; identity plus three years of financials for the same list takes about an hour. That is the register's pace, not ours, and it is why financialYears is a setting rather than always on.

Frequently asked questions

What does an unmatched row cost? Nothing. Rows that fail the CUI checksum or that ANAF does not know are returned with an explanation and are never charged. Years with no filed statement are not charged either.

Where does the data come from? ANAF, the Romanian tax authority, through its own web service, plus the EU VIES system as an independent confirmation. Every value carries its source and timestamp.

Why do some rows have no name? Because the identifier belongs to a natural person, not a company. Their name and address are withheld by design; you still learn the entity exists, its status and its VAT registration.

How fresh are the financial statements? They are the yearly statements companies file with ANAF, typically available a few months after each year ends. The most recent filed year comes first.

Sources

Source	What it provides
ANAF (tax authority)	Identity, VAT registration with full history, fiscal inactivity, e-Factura status, removal from the register
ANAF bilanț	Yearly financial statements: net turnover, profit or loss, average headcount
EU VIES	Independent confirmation that the VAT number is valid for cross-border trade

All sources are official, public and free of charge, which keeps runs cheap and the data authoritative. This is the Romanian sibling of our Czech & Slovak Company Checker; the two share the same validation engine and the same billing rule that unmatched rows are free.
