Commercial Register extract

A notary may issue a certified output from the Commercial Register (Obchodný register) in paper as well as electronic form — unlike an extract simply downloaded from the internet, it is usable for legal acts. As a rule you will obtain it while you wait; the time of issue depends on the availability of the register. Before ordering, check what type of extract the authority, bank or contracting party requires from you.

What the service means

Official extract versus informative extract

A distinction must be drawn between an ordinary extract from the internet or an uncertified copy of the data and an official or certified output from the register. Which form of extract a bank, an authority or a contracting party accepts depends on the purpose and on the relevant regulation. A notary may issue a certified output from the Commercial Register.

In this area the notary as a rule:

  • draws up a Commercial Register extract in paper as well as electronic form,
  • certifies the conformity of a photocopy with the original (vidimácia) and the authenticity of a signature (legalizácia),
  • issues an extract or confirmation from the notarial central registers (for example as to whether an entry exists in the register of pledges).

Are you looking for the registration of a company in the register rather than an extract from it? That is a different service — company formation and changes can be found on the page on commercial companies.

The procedure

How it usually proceeds

  1. Identification of the entity. You provide the company ID number (IČO) or the exact business name.

  2. Drawing up. The notary obtains the current state from the register and draws up the extract.

  3. Certification. The notary issues a certified output in the available form — as a rule while you wait; the time of issue depends on the availability of the register and on technical processing.

  4. Collection in paper or electronic form.
