How do you search Romania's Trade Register?
Use ONRC to identify the registered company, then select a current or historical Trade Register record for the question at hand.
By Matthew Lee
Romania's National Trade Register Office (ONRC) maintains the Trade Register. The ONRC site (opens in a new tab) and its online services offer company information; the European e-Justice Portal describes the records, registration documents and access routes. Search with the company's registered name and identifier, then compare the result with the entity on the contract or invoice.
Current extract or historical record?
Fill Easy's Romania document list distinguishes a Company Register Extract from a Historical Company Register Extract. A current extract addresses registered particulars now. The historical record is more useful when a former name, director, address or other entry matters at an earlier event date. ONRC also holds supporting registration and amendment documents; the exact information supplied depends on the selected product and access rules.
Search and record the evidence
- Resolve the legal name and company identifier through ONRC. Check status and registered office before matching the result to the counterparty.
- Compare the recorded representative with the contract signer. If a change happened near the signing date, obtain the historical entry or supporting filing.
- Keep the issue date of the extract, the date of any underlying registration event and your retrieval date together. Request an additional document if the extract does not answer the question.
For example, a Romanian supplier may present a recent invoice under its new name and an older contract under its former name. Resolve the identifier, use the historical extract to establish the name change, then check who could represent it when the contract was signed.
Ownership and access limits
The Trade Register includes registered company particulars and filed documents, but a single extract does not necessarily establish every current beneficial owner. Check the relevant ownership entry and its effective date, follow corporate shareholders and identify later transfers or other control rights. Public basic information, paid extracts and restricted personal information have different access conditions.
Fill Easy lists both extracts for manual retrieval. Send the legal name, identifier, chosen record and relevant date through CorpVerify or the email channel; confirm price and turnaround with the order.
