Search Polish companies free in the National Court Register (KRS), where information equal to the current and full extracts and filed financial documents is available without an account. Beneficial owners are public and free to look up in the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR) at www.podatki.gov.pl/crbr. A government AML bill from February 2026 would restrict CRBR access, but in mid-2026 it was still at the legislative-commission stage.

Companies are identified by the KRS number and can also be found by NIP or REGON.
