EU Company Verification (KYB): Official Registries

Verify any company in seconds against official business registries, one at a time or thousands at once.

Paste a list of company names, registration numbers or VAT numbers and get back a clean profile for each one from 9 official registries: France, Norway, Finland, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Ireland: legal name, status (active, closed, in liquidation, bankrupt, insolvent), legal form, registered address, incorporation date, activity code and VAT number, with a link to the registry page and a match score. No API keys, no scraping, no personal data.

✨ Why use it

• ✅ Official registries only: SIRENE/RNE, Brønnøysund, YTJ, ARES, KRS, RPO, the Estonian e-Business Register, the Latvian Register of Enterprises and the Irish CRO.
• 🔎 Any identifier works: names, SIREN/SIRET, organisasjonsnummer, Y-tunnus, IČO, KRS, Estonian and Latvian registration numbers, CRO numbers or VAT numbers, detected automatically.
• ⚠️ Spot risk early: liquidations, bankruptcies and insolvency proceedings.
• 🎯 Match score: see at a glance how closely the registered name matches the one you were given. Unrelated names are left out, so you don't pay for them.
• 💸 Pay only for matches: $0.005 per company found. Queries with no match are free.
• 🔒 No personal data: sole traders are excluded, and directors and shareholders are never returned.

• Names are searched in every selected registry (except Poland). Prefix a country to search only there: FR: Boulangerie Dupont.
• Numbers are recognized automatically: SIREN/SIRET and FR VAT, NO organisasjonsnummer (and NO…MVA), FI Y-tunnus (and FI…), CZ IČO (and CZ…), PL KRS (10 digits), SK IČO (8 digits), EE registry code (8 digits) and EE VAT (EE…), LV registration number (11 digits), IE CRO number (up to 6 digits). A 9-digit number is checked in both France and Norway, and an 8-digit number in Czechia, Slovakia and Estonia.

📦 Output

One row per company found:

{
  "query": "FR: Airbus",
  "found": true,
  "matchType": "name",
  "matchScore": 1.0,
  "country": "FR",
  "registry": "SIRENE / RNE",
  "registryId": "383474814",
  "name": "AIRBUS",
  "legalForm": "SAS",
  "legalFormCode": "5710",
  "status": "active",
  "incorporationDate": "1991-10-18",
  "address": "2 ROND-POINT DEWOITINE 31700 BLAGNAC",
  "postalCode": "31700",
  "city": "BLAGNAC",
  "activityCode": "30.30Z",
  "vatNumber": "FR89383474814",
  "employees": "10000+",
  "otherIds": { "siret": "38347481400100" },
  "registryUrl": "https://annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr/entreprise/383474814"
}

Queries with no match get one row with found: false and the registries searched. Those rows are free.

matchScore (0 to 1) compares the name you gave with the registered name, ignoring case, accents, quotes and legal-form words (SA, SAS, Oy, a.s., OÜ, SIA, DAC…). Id lookups and identical names score 1. A name that contains every word you searched scores 0.6 or more. Names that lack one of your words and are spelt quite differently (below 0.45) are left out and not charged.

💰 How much does it cost?

Event	Price
Company profile (one row found)	$0.005

Higher Apify plans get volume discounts. Not-found rows are not charged, so checking 1,000 names of which 800 are found costs $4.

🔒 Personal data

• Sole traders are excluded in every country: French entrepreneurs individuels, Norwegian ENK, Finnish private traders, Czech and Slovak natural persons in business, Estonian FIE, and Latvian individual merchants, individual enterprises and farms. The Irish CRO register holds companies only.
• Names of directors and shareholders are never returned.
• Poland's open KRS API already anonymizes personal data.

ℹ️ Good to know

• ARES (Czechia) refuses name searches that match too many companies, so use a more specific name or the IČO.
• Poland's open API looks up KRS numbers only. Its VAT and REGON numbers are included in the result.
• ARES states that its data is informative and not proof in legal proceedings.
• Estonia: the open data file lists registered companies only, so deleted companies are not found. It is downloaded once per run, which adds a few seconds.
• Slovakia, Latvia and Ireland publish no VAT numbers in their open data. Latvia's has no activity code and does not flag insolvency proceedings.
• Ireland: a company marked Strike Off Listed is still registered, so it shows as active with that detail.
• If a registry is temporarily unavailable, the row says so in registriesUnavailable. Run that query again later.
