Public access to the register

The Commercial Register, including applications for registration and supporting documents, is public. Against payment of a fee, anyone shall be entitled to inspect the entries in the Commercial Register and the supporting documents and other written records on which the entries are based.

Inspection, extracts, copies or certificates of files and documents deposited in accordance with Article 990 PGR as well as of registrations and supporting documents of foundations and trusts not entered in the Commercial Register may be requested by the depositor and the person authorised to do so. Certain information (such as name, registered office, foundation council, etc.) may be disclosed by way of official confirmation to third parties.

Against payment of a fee, extracts from the Commercial Register of registered legal entities can be ordered. Generally, these extracts are issued only in certified form and are not sent by fax.
