This guide contains public integration notes for Slovakia. Use it for identifier formats, search behavior, and country-specific caveats. The live source of truth for coverage, pricing, data sources, documents, legal forms, roles, and status values is the pricing page.
Slovakia coverage, pricing, and sources

Country details below are preserved as integration notes. If a table or example conflicts with the live pricing page, use the pricing page as the source of truth and contact support.
Slovakia uses two official government databases. For a given entity, company profile data comes from the RPO, while document retrieval uses the ORSR. The RPO aggregates data from multiple source registers and provides a unified API.
RPO (Register právnických osôb, podnikateľov a orgánov verejnej moci). The Register of Legal Entities, Entrepreneurs and Public Authorities, maintained by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. This is the primary and sole structured data source for all entity types (commercial companies, sole entrepreneurs, non-profits, public entities). Accessible at rpo.statistics.sk via a free, unauthenticated public API. Provides company name, legal form, status, registered address, share capital, activity descriptions, statutory bodies (legal representatives), stakeholders (shareholders, other key persons), and statistical codes.
ORSR (Obchodný Register Slovenskej Republiky). The Commercial Register of the Slovak Republic, maintained by the Ministry of Justice. Used exclusively for Trade Register Extract (PDF) retrieval from orsr.sk. It is not a structured data source for company attributes. Requires ORSR-specific identifiers (oddiel/vlozka/sud) obtained from RPO data.
The RPO aggregates data from multiple source registers (Commercial Register, Trade Licenses Register, etc.) and provides a unified view of legal entities in Slovakia. The ORSR specifically covers commercial companies registered in the court registry system.
Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow
By Name
Text string
"Slovak Telekom"
Fuzzy
Multiple results (partial match)
Search Performance: Use ICO-based searches for best performance and exact matching (~6 seconds). Name searches may take significantly longer (~30 seconds) when the query returns a large number of matches.
Search returns internal identifiers. Both search methods return ORSR identifiers (oddiel/vlozka/sud) alongside the RPO ID, which are needed for document retrieval. These are stored internally and do not appear in the public API response.
Share percentages and capital contributions are only available for Limited Liability Companies (s.r.o.). Joint stock companies (a.s.), partnerships (v.o.s., k.s.), and cooperatives do not expose deposit records in the RPO API.
NACE codes may be AI-inferred
When the RPO does not provide statistical codes, NACE codes are inferred by AI from Slovak activity descriptions (predmet podnikania). Check the isAIInferred flag.
ISIC codes are always AI-inferred
ISIC codes are derived via AI from activity descriptions. They are never directly available from the RPO.
Dissolved companies may have limited data
For companies with status “Zaniknuty subjekt” (Terminated), the RPO entity endpoint may return empty statutory bodies and stakeholders. The system falls back to search result data for basic information (name, address).
Trade Register Extract requires ORSR identifiers
The Trade Register Extract document is only available for companies that have ORSR identifiers (oddiel/vlozka/sud). Sole entrepreneurs and non-profits registered only in the RPO do not have ORSR records.
ICO is always 8 digits
The ICO (Organization Identification Number) is always 8 digits. Leading zeros are significant and must be preserved.
Prokurista appears in legal representatives
Authorized signatories (Prokurista, code 24 in CL010109) are extracted from the RPO stakeholders section and mapped as legal representatives, not other key persons.
Historical roles in other key persons
Some roles (codes 4-23) can appear in both legal representatives and other key persons. When they appear in stakeholders, they represent historical/former positions.
UBO data is not publicly available
Following a CJEU ruling on privacy rights (July 2025), the Slovak Statistical Office restricted public access to beneficial ownership data. Access is limited to public authorities and AML-obliged entities.
ORSR requires rendering
The ORSR website uses web-based rendering, requiring content to be fully rendered before PDF capture.
Historical currency support
Companies registered before 2009 (Euro adoption) may have share capital in SKK (Slovak Koruna). The system supports both EUR and historical SKK currency codes.

Status priority logic: (1) If a termination date exists, the company is always mapped to Closed regardless of the status code. (2) Otherwise, the current status code determines the status. (3) If no status information is available, the system defaults to Active.
Slovakia uses the official codelist CL000056 containing 90+ legal forms. The mapping from these codes to standardized forms and ISO 20275 (ELF) codes is fully deterministic — no AI inference is involved.
ISO 20275 (ELF) codes are only assigned for legal forms that have registered LEI entities in the GLEIF database. Most Slovak legal forms do not have ELF codes assigned in the current GLEIF list (v1.5).
The full CL000056 codelist (90+ legal forms) is available at MetaIS. Our system maps every code deterministically to provide English translations, standardized categories, and ISO 20275 codes.
Legal Representatives from Stakeholders (CL010109 — 5 codes)
These are stakeholders with signing authority, extracted from the stakeholders array:

Prokurista zahranicnej osoby
Procurator of Foreign Entity

97
Veduci odstepneho zavodu
Head of Branch
Legal representatives include both individuals and corporate entities. Role translations are standardized deterministically based on the official codelist CL010113. All statutory body entries are current records only — historical records (with validTo set) are filtered out.
Other key persons are extracted from the RPO stakeholders array using codelist CL010109. These include supervisory board members, administrators, founders, and other roles that are neither legal representatives nor shareholders.
Codes 4-23 (marked “historical”) are executive roles that can appear in stakeholders when they represent former/historical positions rather than current statutory authority. These same codes in CL010113 represent current legal representatives. Mapping source: CL010109.
Shareholders are extracted from the RPO stakeholders array using codelist CL010109 (7 shareholder codes). Both individual and corporate shareholders are supported.
Ownership data is only available for s.r.o. (Limited Liability Companies). Deposit-to-stakeholder matching uses normalized names (lowercase, academic titles removed). Currency is read from the currency.code field. Only current deposits (where validTo is null) are used.
Business activities are extracted from the RPO and enriched with standardized codes:
RPO statisticalCodes.mainActivity --> NACE (official)RPO activity descriptions --> NACE (AI-inferred when no statisticalCodes)Activity descriptions --> ISIC (always AI-inferred)

AI Enrichment: When NACE codes are not available from RPO statisticalCodes, the system uses an LLM to infer NACE codes from Slovak activity descriptions (predmet podnikania). ISIC codes are always AI-inferred. Every activity item includes an isAIInferred flag to distinguish official vs. AI-derived codes. The original Slovak activity descriptions are always preserved in activityDescription.
No documents are currently available for sole entrepreneurs and non-profits, as they are not registered in the ORSR Commercial Register.
Trade Register Extract requires ORSR identifiers. The document is only available for companies that have ORSR identifiers (oddiel/vlozka/sud). These identifiers are resolved automatically via the search request. Companies without ORSR registration (sole entrepreneurs, non-profits) cannot access this document.
eIDAS authentication: Other documents (such as financial statements and articles of association) are available via the Slovak eGovernment portal but require eIDAS electronic identification. This is not currently supported.
All examples use placeholder data. Query: POST /v2/company with { "id": "<id>", "countryCode": "SK", "dataPoints": ["company", "legalRepresentatives"] }
Active s.r.o. (Limited Liability Company) -- with Shareholders
Note: Closed companies have active: false. Shareholders and other key persons may not be available for dissolved companies, as the RPO entity endpoint may return empty arrays.
Note: Companies under insolvency proceedings have active: false with detailed status including insolvencyStartDate and additionalInfo describing the specific proceeding type.
