Verify a Company in the Czech Republic Online

Official Company Verification on the Czech Ministry of Justice Website (Commercial Register)

To be straightforward, the process involves several steps. On this page, we'll guide you through verifying the existence and details of a Czech company as efficiently as possible.

The Czech Commercial Register is public. This means that you can check whether a company exists by searching for its name and verify all its details (such as its legal address, the identities of its directors and founders, and more).

Here is the link to the official website of the Czech Ministry of Justice:

VISIT THE WEBSITE (https://or.justice.cz/)

This is the official website of the Czech Commercial Register, where you can search for a legal entity. Use the search field on the website to look up a company by its name or registration number (you need to enter one of these).

For a test search, try our company details:

• Company name: RusCzech or
• Registration number: 24312134

Click the "Hledat" button to start the search. You will then see the search results. For example, searching for our company will display a results page like this:

RusCzech search results on the Czech Ministry of Justice website

The results show basic information (company name, registration number, date of establishment, and legal address) and clearly indicate whether the legal entity exists, confirming its current status. If the company is inactive, you will see the note "V likvidaci", which means that the company is in liquidation (being dissolved).

If you require a physical (paper) extract for a legal entity, we can assist you in obtaining it.

After completing your search, the results page displays three main links:

• "Výpis platných" displays detailed CURRENT information about the company as of today. This page includes basic company details and information about founders, directors, the amount of registered capital, and more.
• "Úplný výpis" provides the FULL HISTORY of all changes made to the legal entity, including ownership transfers, changes of legal address, company name changes, and the dates of these modifications.
• "Sbírka listin" contains an archive of the legal entity's documents. By law, certain documents must be publicly accessible, such as founding documents, financial statements, and, in some cases, share transfer agreements. This section contains the documents that the legal entity has published in the archive.

Understanding Czech Commercial Register Extracts
