How do you search Slovakia's Business Register?
Use the official Business Register's name or number search, then obtain the extract needed to verify registered facts.
By Matthew Lee
The Slovak Ministry of Justice provides an English Business Register search (opens in a new tab). You can search by business name, identification number, registered seat, registration number or a person's name. When an invoice or contract gives an identification number, use it to select the correct legal entity before reviewing its details.
What can the extract answer?
The online result identifies registered particulars for the company. Fill Easy's Slovakia document list identifies a Company Register Extract as the selected evidence product. Inspect the extract for the facts and dates it actually contains; an online search result, an extract and a certified copy are different forms of evidence. The European e-Justice Portal describes access to register entries and deposited documents through Slovakia's business-register system.
A three-step search
- Search the identification number or exact legal name. Confirm legal form, registered seat and status against the customer or supplier documents.
- Read the registered representatives and the way they act for the company. If the signer is absent or the transaction was earlier, request the relevant historical entry or mandate.
- Obtain the extract or deposited document that answers the remaining question and retain its source, issue date and retrieval date.
For example, a Slovak counterparty may use a brand on its website but a different legal entity on the invoice. Resolve the identification number, confirm the registered company and then check whether the person who signed the agreement had authority for that entity.
Ownership and access limits
An extract may name company participants or officers, but it need not establish today's full chain of natural-person ownership. Check the relevant entry date, later transfers and any corporate holder's own records. The official register also separates public search access from requests for particular documents or certified evidence.
Fill Easy lists this extract for manual retrieval. Provide the identification number, exact record and event date through CorpVerify or the email channel; price and turnaround are confirmed with the order.
