Impressum & Legal Notice Scraper: VAT, Registry & Contacts (EU)

Turn company websites, or simple Google searches, into verified company identities across Europe. For each website, the Actor finds the legal notice page (Impressum, mentions légales, legal notice, colofon, note legali, aviso legal…) and extracts:

• Legal name, trade name and legal form (GmbH, e.K., SAS, SARL, Ltd, B.V., S.r.l., S.L., AG, Einzelunternehmen…)
• Registry numbers: Handelsregister (HRB/HRA + court), French SIREN/SIRET (+ RCS), Austrian Firmenbuch (FN + court), Swiss UID, UK company number, Dutch KvK, Belgian enterprise number (BCE/KBO), Italian REA, Spanish CIF/NIF
• VAT IDs for all EU countries plus CH, UK and NO, validated against the official formats (with checksum for FR and BE)
• Managing directors / owners: Geschäftsführer, Inhaber, Vertreten durch, Président, Gérant, Director…
• Address, emails and phone numbers: phones in international E.164 format, emails decoded from obfuscation such as "(at)", HTML entities and Cloudflare protection
• Share capital and social media links

With verifyInRegistry, French and UK companies are then checked against the official register. You get the official name, whether the company is active or ceased, its activity, headcount, incorporation date, and whether the name on the website matches.

✨ Why this Actor

🇪🇺 Pan-European	Other Impressum scrapers cover Germany only. This one reads legal notices in German, French, English, Dutch, Italian and Spanish, and understands each country's registry formats.
✅ Registry-verified	It detects when a website's SIREN or UK company number belongs to a ceased company or to a different name. Useful for KYC, supplier onboarding and lead qualification.
🧠 Precise extraction	Web agencies, hosting providers and third-party companies named in privacy policies (Google, Meta, Mailchimp…) are filtered out. Registry numbers are never mistaken for phone numbers, and identifiers are checked for valid formats.
🔎 Websites or keywords	Paste a list of domains, or type searches like Tischlerei Freiburg or plombier Lyon. Directories (Gelbe Seiten, 11880, Pages Jaunes, Yelp…) are skipped.
💸 Fair pricing	You pay only when a company identity or contact detail is found. Unreachable or empty websites are free.

🎯 Use cases

• B2B lead generation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: Steuerberater München → managing directors, email, phone and HRB number for every result.
• CRM and data enrichment: add legal names, VAT IDs and registry numbers to a list of customer domains.
• KYC and supplier checks: confirm that a website's company is registered, active and matches its VAT ID.
• Compliance audits: check which websites in a portfolio are missing a proper Impressum.

❓ FAQ

• Which countries are verified against a registry? France (INSEE/INPI) and the UK (Companies House) today. For other countries you get the numbers as written on the website, with format validation.
• What if a site has no legal notice? We also read the home page footer and the contact page, where many UK, Dutch and Italian sites put their company number and VAT ID.
• Is it legal? Legal notices are public by law, precisely so that anyone can identify the company. Names of directors are personal data: process them in line with the GDPR (for example, a legitimate interest for B2B prospecting, with an opt-out).
