TL;DR. Slovakia’s Commercial Register is at https://www.orsr.sk. The English main page Default.asp?lan=en is titled Business Register of the Slovak Republic on Internet - main page and searches by business name, identification number, registered seat, registration number, and name of a person. The name form search_subjekt.asp?lan=en is titled searching by business name. Electronic services at https://sluzby.orsr.sk/Sluzby sit behind Prihlásiť sa via idp.diam.justice.sk. The paper vypis page gives a court fee of 10 €. No online download price is published, so those costs read as unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
What is the official Slovakia business registry?
The Obchodny register is maintained by the Ministry of Justice through the registry courts, and orsr.sk is its public search. The English home page shows database update dates, including 09/02/2026 for the listed courts.
Slovakia participates in EU BRIS. A BRIS link appears from search-result chrome (e-justice.europa.eu).
https://www.registeruz.sk is the Register účtovných závierok of financial statements, with its own simple search form. That is not orsr.sk.
https://rpvs.gov.sk is the Register partnerov verejného sektora, the public-sector partner register, not the full Commercial Register.
https://www.zrsr.sk does not load securely, so the Trade Register could not be read; confirm at source.
What can you search?
English search entry points:
- Business name (legal-form and court filters on the form)
- Identification number
- Registered seat
- Registration number (file number)
- Name of a person
How director and shareholder details are laid out in the results is not covered here; confirm at source.
The electronic vypis at sluzby.orsr.sk/Sluzby/Vypis loads as an application behind a login rather than as an extract form.
How much does it cost?
| Item | Cost (EUR) | Cost (USD, approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| orsr.sk HTML search | Unknown (no fee on the search form) | Unknown |
| Paper extract (listinná podoba) | 10 EUR | Unknown |
| Full historical extract / apostille | Unknown | Unknown |
The vypis services page says extracts in paper form are sent after payment of the court fee, 10 € for drawing up and issuing a paper extract. Prices for the electronic services sit behind the login and are not published outside it, and no US dollar equivalent is given; confirm at source.
Do you need a local account or ID?
The orsr.sk search has no login. Electronic services use Prihlásiť sa (idp.diam.justice.sk). No Slovak eID field appears on the public search.
Is the website in English?
Partial. orsr.sk has a working English toggle for the search. Certified documents are issued in Slovak as a matter of practice; confirm at source.
What’s the turnaround time?
Unknown for downloads. The paper-extract page says copies are sent without delay once the fee is paid, which is not the same as a download.
Is there an API?
The orsr.sk search is not an API. registeruz.sk links a Verejné API for financial statements, but the Commercial Register itself publishes none.
What you legally cannot do
GDPR applies. Director and shareholder data is for legitimate due diligence, not unsolicited marketing, and bulk scraping is inconsistent with portal use. Unrestricted public beneficial-ownership access for natural persons was limited after the 2022 CJEU ruling, and orsr.sk offers no open beneficial-ownership search. RPVS is a separate public-sector partner register.
Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers
- IC (IČO) is the stable identifier on the English search labels (identification number).
- orsr.sk is a plain search. The sluzby.orsr.sk vypis is an application behind a login.
- registeruz.sk for accounts. rpvs.gov.sk for public-sector partner disclosure. Neither replaces orsr.sk.
- orsr.sk does not publish FATF status. Check fatf-gafi.org.
Alternatives if you cannot access the registry directly
- Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates.
- BRIS via the e-Justice link shown in orsr.sk chrome.
- registeruz.sk for filed accounts.
Local data suppliers
- CRIF Slovakia and Bisnode Slovakia are commercial bureaus, not the Commercial Register.
