Business verification in Poland
VBC certifies businesses registered in Poland. Verification starts from the official record: in Poland the company register is maintained by the Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy (KRS) for companies, or CEIDG for sole traders, and the entity is identified by its KRS number, or CEIDG entry for sole traders.
Polish companies appear in the KRS while sole traders appear in CEIDG, and both registers are publicly searchable. Businesses normally hold NIP and REGON numbers in addition.
Where a business is registered for tax, the NIP, alongside the REGON statistical number is reviewed alongside the registration record, since it provides an independent corroborating identifier.
Why Polish businesses certify
Poland has become a substantial manufacturing and services base for European supply chains. Companies appear in the KRS and sole traders in CEIDG, and both registers are public, which supports independent confirmation.
What VBC verifies for a Polish business
Depending on the certification level, the review may cover legal identity and registration records, the registered business address, working contact details, website ownership and digital presence, supporting documentation and evidence of current business activity.
Documents a Polish business commonly supplies at Enhanced level:
- KRS extract or CEIDG printout
- Articles of association
- NIP and REGON confirmation
- Proof of registered address
Levels, fees and process
Three levels apply everywhere VBC operates — Basic at $100 a year, Enhanced at $250, Trusted at $500 — and the eight-stage process is the same in every country. Only the paperwork differs, because each national registry issues its own records. See what each fee covers and the eight stages in detail.
Public verification
Every VBC certificate issued to a Polish business carries a unique certificate ID and appears on the public register. Customers, suppliers and partners can check its current status themselves, without an account and without contacting the business first.
