Are you establishing a partnership with another company and wish to run a quick background check on them? Are you creating a bank account for your own business? In these and other cases, you’ll need an extract from the Czech business register. Where to obtain it, when its online version suffices and when its official version is required; these are the topics covered in today’s article.
Also known as the Companies Register, this is a public list containing those data on most legal and some natural persons that are required by law. Each entrepreneur or other subject has their own folder. In addition, the register also includes a collection of, again, those documents belonging to the subjects that are required by law.
What information does the online version offer??
You can search the register online with the possibility to print the full extract.
An online register administered by the Czech Ministry of Justice can be found at Justice.cz. Simply enter the subject’s name, identification or reference number to view, download or print all details for free and without the need to register.
Two extract versions are available: the currently valid and full. In the former case, you only receive information valid on the day of your search of the Companies Register; the latter lists all data including those that were entered into the register in the past, enabling you to find headquarters relocations, past bodies and (co)owners.
To gain a better understanding, look at the full extract of the ČEZ corporation below – you can view it in full on the Companies Register website. An interesting detail: you’d have 77 pages to study.
Do you need to prepare the documents for registering your business? Would you like to know how to register some changes? We’ll be happy to help, so that everything gets done smoothly and properly.
The online search of the Companies Register serves only to check a company’s background, to obtain some basic data about it, or to see whether your own registration has been successful. The extract printed from the website is purely informational and may not be used in any official way. For official applications, a certified extract is required.
If its electronic form suffices, simply download a PDF from the Justice.cz website, or have it sent to your data box. The file includes an electronic mark certifying its authenticity as long as the document remains in the digital form.
Keep track of the business register, as it changes over time. You too may have some information deleted from it.
Do you need an official printed extract from the Companies Register? Then visit a registration court or your local Czech POINT branch. If you aren’t pressed for time, order a certified copy on the Czech POINT website and have it conveniently sent to you. The standard delivery time is about 3 work days. Any person may apply for an extract from the Companies Register, i.e., you don’t have to be a company owner or employee. Moreover, it’s possible to apply anonymously.
In what situations do you need a certified extract? For example, when you’re creating a business account for your company. You can also provide the original extract that you received upon registering your business; some banks will download the extract themselves. However, keep in mind that banks may require an extract no older than 3 months. The cost of a certified printed extract depends on its length: The first page amounts to 100 CZK, and each additional one is 50 CZK.

Seriously, what could be better than that? While it sounds ‘too good to be true,’ I’m happy to report that the staff at DA are pros, and what’s more they are honestly dedicated to their awesome mission, which is to make quality legal services affordable for the average person. I find their prices very fair when compared to what I’ve usually paid for similar services, which means I (and my family and friends) can get the legal help I need without worrying about some black hole of never-ending fees. In my own experience with DA I’ve found everyone there very responsive, and emails and calls are answered in a timely manner. Their large staff also gives me confidence that any legal needs I have can be handled professionally, as there’s always someone with experience in my particular issue. Their head attorney also writes a regular blog and keeps up with all the latest legal trends, which means they as a business stay up-to-date. As someone who’s spent a fortune over the years on legal assistance, or tried to “go it alone” when I couldn’t afford legal help, I wish Dostupny Advokat had been around a long time ago. I highly encourage anyone who needs legal help to TRY THEM FIRST!
