Check a Romanian tax ID
Enter the tax ID and see everything ANAF publishes about the company: name, trade register, legal form, address, phone, tax office, VAT status with its start date, VAT on collection, and whether it is registered for RO e-Invoicing.
With or without the country prefix, with or without spaces. It searches on its own once the number is complete — we validate the check digit locally before asking ANAF.
Two tabs, two sources
Company details comes from the public ANAF VAT registry: one request, an immediate answer, loaded together with the search. Financials comes from balance sheets filed with the Ministry of Finance, where the service answers one year per request. That is why the figures are only fetched if you open the tab, are fetched year by year, and the table grows as they arrive — instead of making you wait on every single lookup.
What each field means
VAT-registered — whether the company is registered for VAT. It matters when you issue or receive an invoice: it decides whether VAT appears on the document.
VAT period history — a company can enter and leave the VAT system several times. For an invoice from three years ago it does not matter whether it is registered now, but whether it was then — and only the history says so.
Active — whether the company is not struck off or declared fiscally inactive. An invoice from an inactive company does not give you a deduction right, so it is worth checking before, not after. Where they exist, we also show the inactivation, reactivation and strike-off dates: they say exactly which period is questionable.
Registered office and fiscal domicile — these can be two different addresses. The registry gives them separately, and on a contract it matters which is which.
Activity code — the declared main line of business. The registry gives only the number; its description appears in the financials tab, taken from the balance sheet.
Turnover, profit, employees — from each year's balance sheet. Years with no filing are simply absent from the table: "did not file" and "filed zero" are different things.
What the lookup does not tell you
What you see here describes a company's tax and registration status, not its health. An active tax ID with valid VAT and filed accounts belongs just as easily to a company that pays on time as to one that has just run into trouble. You will not see current debts, garnishments, pending lawsuits, or how many other companies the director has had.
The balance-sheet figures are real but old: last year's accounts are filed in the spring, so by autumn you are looking at a photograph taken nine months ago. For a large decision — trade credit, a delivery on terms, a framework contract — this check is the first step, not the only one.
When it is worth checking
Before the first invoice to a new client, before the first payment to a new supplier, and again before an order much larger than usual. For recurring partners, once a year is enough — but it is worth repeating if something visible changes: the registered office, the director, or the fact that they have started paying later than they used to.
Where the data comes from
Straight from the public ANAF services: the VAT registry and the balance sheets filed with the Ministry of Finance. It is not our data and we do not alter it — if something is wrong there, it gets corrected at ANAF. We keep the answer for a few hours so we do not ask the same thing ten times; the result tells you whether it is fresh or cached.
What cannot be obtained for free, however much we would like to: secondary offices and the company website. The Trade Register holds them, but access is by subscription or paid document, and ANAF does not publish them at all. We did not want to guess.
What we do not do
We do not store what you searched for. A log of "who checked which company" would be a dataset about people's commercial interests, and we have no reason to hold it. We do not ask for your email to show you the result.
