Impressum & EU Legal Notice Extractor — Company Name, VAT, Director & Address

Turn a plain list of domains into structured company data pulled from each site's legally‑required legal‑notice page — the German Impressum, French Mentions légales, Spanish Aviso legal, Italian Note legali, Dutch Colofon and their equivalents across Europe.

For every domain you get the legal company name, VAT / USt‑IdNr, managing director, registration number, register court, postal address, email and phone — the exact fields you need for B2B lead enrichment, KYB, compliance and sales research. Fast, keyless and built for bulk: paste thousands to millions of domains and let it run.

Why this Actor is different

Most "email scrapers" crawl a whole website and return whatever addresses they stumble on. This Actor is surgical: it goes straight to the one page European businesses are legally obliged to publish — the legal notice — and reads the structured company identity from it.

That matters because the legal notice is:

• Legally mandated across the EU/EEA, so it exists on the vast majority of commercial sites and sits in the footer (one click away).
• Structured and consistent — it names the legal entity, its representatives, its VAT number and its commercial‑register entry. That is far richer than a random info@ address.
• High fill‑rate — because publishing it is a legal requirement, the data is there to be read.

So instead of "an email, maybe," you get a company record: who the business legally is, who runs it, its tax and register IDs, and how to reach it.

What you can do with it

• B2B lead enrichment — turn a list of company domains into a CRM‑ready table with legal name, decision‑maker, VAT and contact details.
• KYB / compliance / onboarding — confirm a counterparty's legal entity, registration number and register court before you do business.
• Sales & prospecting — reach the named managing director instead of a generic inbox.
• Market & competitor research — map the legal entities behind a set of brands or a whole industry.
• Data cleaning & deduplication — resolve many domains to their real legal company name and register ID.
• Agency & directory building — assemble structured company directories for a country or vertical.

What you get — output fields

One record per domain:

Field	Description
domain	The domain you supplied
companyName	Legal company name (e.g. Flaconi GmbH)
address	Street and postal city
emails	Email addresses found on the legal notice
phone	Phone number
vatId	VAT number / USt‑IdNr (e.g. DE219349391)
managingDirector	Managing director / legal representative
registrationNumber	Commercial‑register number (e.g. HRB 133604)
registerCourt	Registering court or chamber (e.g. Düsseldorf)
legalPageUrl	URL of the legal‑notice page that was read
legalPageType	legal-notice or contact (fallback)
foundVia	How the page was located
error	Populated only if nothing could be read
scrapedAt	ISO timestamp

Not every field is present on every site — legal notices vary by country and company. Core fields (companyName, emails, phone, address) fill at a high rate; register/VAT/director fields are richest in German‑speaking markets (DE/AT/CH), where the legal‑notice format is most standardised.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
domains	array	—	Required. Domains to process. URLs and emails are accepted too — the domain is extracted automatically.
contactPageFallback	boolean	true	If no legal notice is found, try a contact page to still capture email and phone.
maxConcurrency	integer	20	How many domains to process in parallel.
proxyConfiguration	object	off	Apify Proxy. Off by default; enable if some targets block direct requests.

Minimal input

{
  "domains": ["sipgate.de", "flaconi.de", "teamviewer.com"]
}

Larger run

{
  "domains": ["site1.de", "site2.fr", "site3.nl", "site4.it"],
  "contactPageFallback": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 30
}

You can paste domains in any of these forms — all are normalised to the bare domain:

• example.com
• https://www.example.com/some/page
• hello@example.com

Supported countries & legal‑notice types

The Actor recognises legal‑notice pages in many languages and formats, including:

Country	Legal‑notice name
Germany 🇩🇪	Impressum
Austria 🇦🇹	Impressum / Offenlegung
Switzerland 🇨🇭	Impressum
France 🇫🇷	Mentions légales
Spain 🇪🇸	Aviso legal
Italy 🇮🇹	Note legali / Dati societari
Netherlands 🇳🇱	Colofon / Juridische informatie
Belgium 🇧🇪	Mentions légales / Wettelijke vermeldingen
United Kingdom 🇬🇧	Legal notice / Company information
Portugal 🇵🇹	Aviso legal / Informação legal
… and more	Generic "Legal notice" / "Imprint" pages

Coverage of the register/VAT/director fields is strongest for DE, AT and CH, where the Impressum is highly standardised. For other countries, expect reliable company name, address, email and phone, with the structured register fields where the site publishes them.

---

How it works

1. You provide a list of domains.
2. For each domain, the Actor locates the legal‑notice page — first from the site's own footer link, then by checking the common legal‑notice paths used across Europe.
3. It reads the page and extracts the company fields listed above using multilingual, format‑aware parsing (for example, country‑specific VAT formats and register‑number patterns).
4. If no legal notice exists and contactPageFallback is on, it reads a contact page so you still get email and phone.
5. Each domain becomes one row in the dataset.

Everything runs on plain HTTP, so it's quick and inexpensive even on very large lists.

Use cases in detail

1. B2B lead enrichment

You have a list of company domains from a form, an event, or another scraper. Run them through this Actor and enrich each one with the legal company name, the managing director's name, the VAT number and a direct email/phone — a far stronger record than a bare domain.

2. KYB and compliance onboarding

Before onboarding a supplier or partner, pull their legal notice to confirm the exact legal entity, its registration number and its register court. Combine companyName + registrationNumber + registerCourt to look the company up in the relevant commercial register.

3. Sales prospecting to decision‑makers

managingDirector gives you the named person legally responsible for the business — ideal for personalised outreach in small and mid‑market companies, instead of emailing a generic inbox.

4. Market mapping and competitive research

Feed in every domain in a niche or region and get the legal entities, locations and contacts behind them — a quick way to build a market map or competitor list.

5. Data hygiene

Resolve many domains (including ones that redirect or rebrand) to a single canonical legal company name plus register ID, so your CRM isn't full of duplicates and guesses.

6. Building directories

Assemble a structured, country‑specific business directory — legal name, address, VAT, contacts — from a seed list of domains.

Tips for the best results

• Feed real company domains. The legal notice is a business‑site feature; personal blogs and large closed platforms may not have one.
• Combine with a DNS or contact tool. Use it alongside other enrichment steps to build a complete company profile.
• Use companyName + registrationNumber + registerCourt together when you need to match a company in an official register.
• Turn on proxy only if a specific set of targets blocks direct requests — most legal‑notice pages don't need it.
• Sort or filter by country on your side by looking at the domain TLD or the VAT prefix (e.g. DE, FR, IT).

Frequently asked questions

Which page does it read? The site's legal‑notice page — Impressum, Mentions légales, Aviso legal, Note legali, Colofon and equivalents. It finds it from the footer link or by checking the standard legal‑notice paths.

Why is a field sometimes empty? Legal notices differ by country and company. A small sole trader's notice won't list a "managing director," and not every country publishes a VAT number on the page. Core fields (name, address, email, phone) fill at a high rate; register/VAT/director fields are richest in German‑speaking markets.

Can I pass URLs or emails instead of bare domains? Yes. https://www.site.com/page and user@site.com both normalise to site.com.

How many domains can it handle? From a handful to millions. It processes domains in parallel and writes one row each.

What if a site has no legal notice? With contactPageFallback on, it reads a contact page so you still capture email and phone. Otherwise the row is returned with an error note.

In which format can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML table, or via the Apify API.

Does it need any API key? No. Just paste your domains and run.

Legal & responsible use

This Actor reads information that companies are legally required to publish on their own websites, and only from the public legal‑notice or contact page of the domains you supply.

You are responsible for how you use the results. In particular:

• Personal data (such as a managing director's name or email) is regulated in the EU by the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules even when it is publicly available. Make sure you have a lawful basis before processing or contacting individuals.
• Respect marketing and anti‑spam laws (GDPR, ePrivacy, national rules) when using contact details for outreach.
• Use the Actor only on domains you have a legitimate reason to check, and comply with each site's terms.

This tool is provided for lawful business, compliance and research purposes. It does not provide legal advice.
