Overview

Access verified German company data directly from the official Handelsregister. Get details like legal form, share capital, business purpose, current and historical representatives, and download official court documents for any German business.

The Handelsregister API provides direct access to Germany's official commercial register (Handelsregister). This essential tool allows you to look up crucial company information, from basic registration details to in-depth legal and financial structures, and even retrieve official court documents. ### Why German Commercial Register Data Matters The Handelsregister is the official public record of all registered commercial entities in Germany. It ensures transparency and legal certainty in business transactions. For anyone dealing with German companies – whether for due diligence, compliance checks, market research, or lead generation – having accurate, up-to-date information directly from this source is critical. This tool helps you bypass manual searches and get structured data programmatically. ### What You Can Find Beyond basic company names and registration numbers, this tool offers a "deep search" capability. When enabled, you can extract a wealth of granular data: * **Company Structure:** Understand the legal form (e.g., GmbH, AG), the company's stated business purpose, and its founding date. * **Financial Indicators:** View the registered share capital and its currency, offering a snapshot of the company's financial foundation. * **Key Personnel:** Identify company representatives, including managing directors, shareholders, and board members. For each, you'll get their full name, role, city, and birth date, providing critical insights into leadership and ownership. * **Official Address:** Retrieve the full business address, including street, house number, postal code, city, and country. * **Court Information:** See which register court maintains the company's records, along with court codes and state information. * **Official Documents:** A standout feature is the ability to identify and retrieve official court documents. You can specify whether to include current, chronological, or historical printouts, and the tool provides download URLs and filenames for direct access. This is invaluable for legal verification and detailed record-keeping. ### How to Search You can search for companies using various identifiers: a unique EU-ID, a national register identifier, a company name or keyword, a specific register number, or even by specifying a particular register court. This flexibility ensures you can find the data you need, even with partial information. This tool is designed for professionals who need reliable, verified data on German businesses, enabling more informed decisions and streamlined workflows.
