Slovakia RPVS Beneficial Owners (UBO) Scraper

Resolve the beneficial owners (UBO) behind any Slovak public-sector partner from Slovakia's public beneficial-ownership register - the RPVS (Register partnerov verejného sektora) - by IČO or company name, as structured JSON. Each record gives the company identity plus its beneficial owners (konečný užívateľ výhod), each with a public-official (PEP) flag, and the authorised person who filed and verifies the entry.

No login, no API key, nothing to configure - just send an IČO or a company name.

Slovakia's RPVS is one of only two genuinely public beneficial-ownership registers in the EU (the other is Poland's CRBR). Every company that takes public money - contracts, subsidies, licences - must disclose its ultimate beneficial owners here. That makes it a high-value, low-noise source for KYC/KYB, UBO discovery, PEP screening, and counterparty due diligence.

What data do you get?

One record per public-sector partner, with its beneficial owners resolved:

{
  "registerNumber": 7049,
  "partnerName": "Slovak Telekom, a.s.",
  "ico": "35763469",
  "legalForm": "PravnickaOsoba",
  "isCurrentlyRegistered": true,
  "validFrom": "2017-02-01T00:00:00+01:00",
  "validTo": null,
  "beneficialOwners": [
    { "firstName": "Timotheus", "lastName": "Höttges", "fullName": "Timotheus Höttges", "type": "person", "isPublicOfficial": false, "validFrom": "2017-02-01T00:00:00+01:00", "validTo": null, "isCurrent": true }
  ],
  "beneficialOwnerCount": 20,
  "hasPublicOfficial": false,
  "authorizedPersons": [ { "name": "Malata, Pružinský, Hegedüš & Partners s. r. o.", "type": "company", "ico": "47239915" } ],
  "jurisdiction": "SK",
  "source": "RPVS - Register partnerov verejného sektora (Ministerstvo spravodlivosti SR)",
  "sourceUrl": "https://rpvs.gov.sk/",
  "retrievedAt": "2026-07-02T00:00:00.000Z"
}

beneficialOwners is an array (a company usually has several). isPublicOfficial per owner and hasPublicOfficial at the partner level are the register's own public-official flag - a first-pass PEP signal. Date of birth is redacted (null) in the public feed. The raw register splits each partner across several entities; this actor joins them so you get one tidy record with the full owner list, PEP flags, and validity dates already resolved.

How much does it cost?

Pay per result - you are not charged for Apify platform usage, only per partner record. See the Pricing tab on this page for the current figure. The free Apify plan returns a small preview. No subscription, no minimum.

Is it legal, and where does the data come from?

Data comes from the official RPVS open-data API at rpvs.gov.sk, maintained by the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. The RPVS is a public register open to anyone; this actor reads the official open-data feed and logs in to nothing. Date of birth and other protected personal data are already redacted by the register in the public feed. Use the data lawfully (KYC/AML, due diligence, B2B).

How do I use it?

Look up a company's beneficial owners by IČO:

{ "searchMode": "byIco", "icoNumbers": ["35763469"] }

Search by company name ({ "searchMode": "byName", "searchQuery": "Telekom" }), or screen several IČOs keeping only currently-valid entries ({ "searchMode": "byIco", "icoNumbers": ["35763469", "31322832"], "currentOnly": true }).

Input options

Field	Type	Description
searchMode	string	byIco (default) or byName.
icoNumbers	array	Slovak IČO numbers (used in byIco mode).
searchQuery	string	Company name, contains-match (used in byName mode).
exactMatch	boolean	byName: match the name exactly. Default false.
currentOnly	boolean	Keep only currently-valid owners/identities. Default false.
maxResults	integer	Max partner records to export. Default 50.

Pairs with the UBO & debtor actors (source -> screen)

This actor sources the ultimate beneficial owners. Chain it with a debtor / insolvency screen on those same people and companies:

• Poland CRBR - the same public-UBO register for Poland (RPVS is its Slovak twin).
• Poland KRZ / Germany Insolvency / Czech ISIR - screen the owners you surface for insolvency.

Source the beneficial owners, then check them.

What you can do with it

• KYC / KYB & UBO discovery - resolve the ultimate beneficial owners behind a Slovak counterparty.
• PEP screening - the isPublicOfficial flag surfaces owners the register itself marks as public officials.
• AML source -> screen - feed the owners you find here into an insolvency / debtor / adverse-media check.
• Procurement & public-money due diligence - see who ultimately benefits from a public-sector partner.

FAQ

Is it legal? Yes. The RPVS is a public register open to anyone, read via its official open-data API. Protected personal data (e.g. date of birth) is already redacted by the register. Use the data lawfully for KYC/AML and due-diligence purposes.

Do I need an account or API key? No. No login, no key, nothing to configure - just an Apify account.

How complete is the coverage? The RPVS covers every company that receives public money in Slovakia (contracts, subsidies, licences) - which is why it is a genuinely public UBO register, unlike most EU beneficial-ownership registers.

What does the PEP flag mean? isPublicOfficial / hasPublicOfficial is the register's own marking that an owner is a public official - a first-pass PEP signal to feed into fuller screening.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read live via the API.

Common combinations: company register -> UBO -> insolvency/debtors -> adverse media is the standard KYB/onboarding chain.

For Poland that whole chain is one call: Poland KYB Risk Check takes a NIP or KRS and returns identity, beneficial owners and insolvency - screened against the company and every beneficial owner - as a single verdict, billed once per completed check.
