Romania company search: ONRC (onrc.ro)

TL;DR. Romania’s National Trade Register Office (ONRC) publishes at https://www.onrc.ro, but the site refuses the request and returns a short refusal page instead of the register. https://www.recom.ro and https://recom.ro no longer resolve, and neither does https://portal.onrc.ro. No certificat constatator fees could be read, so fees are unknown rather than free, and no replacement search address is published; confirm at source.

What is the official Romania business registry?

The Oficiul National al Registrului Comertului (ONRC) is the National Trade Register Office, a public institution under the Ministry of Justice. Statutory basis has included Law No. 26/1990 and Law No. 265/2022. The published portal is https://www.onrc.ro, but the site refuses the request and returns a short refusal page carrying only a support reference. The plain-http address http://www.onrc.ro, site.onrc.ro and /index.php/en/ all behave the same way.

recom.ro is not the public search portal: that name no longer resolves. Earlier copy mapped recom.ro to onrc.ro, which is not itself a search form.

No replacement search address is published, and portal.onrc.ro does not resolve.

What can you search?

No working ONRC search form could be reached, because the site returns a refusal page. The CUI and denumire fields it would offer could not be confirmed; confirm at source.

How much does it cost?

No fee schedule and no payment methods could be read, so the table above reads unknown rather than free; confirm at source.

Do you need a local account or ID?

Account rules could not be confirmed, because the site refuses the request; confirm at source.

Is the website in English?

Unknown. The refusal page is in English, but the register itself did not load.

What’s the turnaround time?

Unknown. No turnaround time could be read; confirm at source.

Is there an API?

No public API is published, because no portal page loads.

What you legally cannot do

• Bulk automated harvesting of ONRC, when reachable, is not authorised.
• Romanian personal data in the trade register is subject to GDPR.
• A refusal page is not an extract.

Practical tips for foreign compliance buyers

• onrc.ro refuses automated visitors. A refusal page is not a working register.
• recom.ro no longer resolves. It is not a route to the register.
• No replacement search address is published.
• FATF status is not published on the ONRC pages. See fatf-gafi.org.

Alternatives if you cannot access ONRC directly

• Aggregator search (indicative only): OpenCorporates indexes some Romanian filings. Not for compliance-grade verification.
• recom.ro no longer resolves and is not an alternative.

Local data suppliers

Romanian credit bureaus and local counsel remain the practical path while the ONRC site refuses automated visitors. No supplier tariff is published on onrc.ro.
