# Poland

Company data from the Poland business register, through the Topograph API.

## Overview

Topograph reads KRS (Polish National Court Register), CRBR (Polish Central Register of Beneficial Owners), CEIDG (Central Register of Business Activity), eKRS (Electronic KRS Portal) and REGON (Polish National Official Business Register) and returns the company profile, legal representatives, shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners of Poland companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |  |
| Legal representatives | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |
| Shareholders | Partly | Comes back in Verify. |
| Ultimate beneficial owners | Yes | Comes back in Verify. |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | No |
| Financials | Yes |
| UBO extract | Yes |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Aktualny odpis z KRS
- Sprawozdanie finansowe
- Rejestr Beneficjentów Rzeczywistych

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 8 s in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
