The National Court Register (Polish: Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy [kraˈjɔ.vɘ ˈrɛ.jɛstr sɔnˈdɔ.vɘ]) is the official company register of Poland. Launched in 2001, it is jointly administered by the Ministry of Justice and the regional courts. Most companies and organisations in Poland must register in order to legally conduct their activities, and only companies with a physical presence in Poland may register. Registered companies are afforded certain rights, including protection of their name. In the years following its introduction, the register underwent gradual digitalisation and since 2021 is only available electronically. The National Court Register operates through an IT system that enables the collection, verification, processing and exchange of data important for ensuring the order and security of legal transactions. The task of the National Court Register is to provide public access to fast and reliable information on the legal status of a registered person (KRS central information), the most important elements of its financial status and the way it is presented.[1]
