How to check a Romanian company
Any Romanian company can be checked for free, online, by CUI or name. Data comes from official public registries: ONRC, ANAF, the Ministry of Finance and the Monitorul Oficial.
Steps, in brief
1. Search for the company by CUI or name
The CUI is the most reliable search key — names can repeat, CUIs cannot. You will find it on any invoice or contract.
2. Check identity and ONRC status
Confirm the exact name, registered office, trade-register number and status: active, dissolved, struck off or in insolvency.
3. Check VAT status and fiscal inactivity
The company page shows, live from ANAF data, whether the company is a VAT payer, whether it applies cash-basis VAT and whether it has been declared fiscally inactive.
4. Read the balance sheet
Public multi-year balance sheets show turnover, profit, number of employees and total liabilities — whether the company has real activity and which direction it is heading.
5. Check directors and shareholders
Directors' and shareholders' names are public ONRC data. Check which other companies the same persons appear in.

Yes. The ONRC status (active, dissolved, struck off, insolvency) appears on the company page, along with the history of published events.
Where does the data come from?
Exclusively from official public sources: ONRC (data.gov.ro), ANAF, the Ministry of Finance (balance sheets), Monitorul Oficial and SEAP for public procurement.
