Official business registration extract: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain your official business identity document (Extrait Kbis) to prove your company's legal existence for contracts and banking.
This scheme allows you to obtain an official document that serves as the legal identity card for your business.
Who it's for
This document is available to any registered commercial entity. If your business is officially registered and operates as a commercial entity, you are eligible to request this extract to prove your legal status.
What you get
You receive an official document, known locally as an Extrait Kbis. This document functions as the official identity card for your business. It provides the necessary legal proof of your business's existence, which is essential for various professional requirements, such as finalizing business contracts or meeting the administrative needs of your bank.
What it costs you
There is a small fee required to obtain the document. For each digital download you request through the official system, you will be charged a fee that is approximately between €3 and €5.
The catch to know
When you are working with new clients or partners, they often demand a version of the document that is very recent. Specifically, many organizations will only accept a version that is less than three months old to ensure that all the information regarding your business remains current and accurate.
