A legal address is a mandatory attribute of any company; without it, the procedure for registering a legal entity is simply impossible. Often the actual location and legal address of a firm do not match. Therefore, in order to find out the legal address of a company, it is not enough to know the place of its actual location.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to find out the legal address of a company is to contact the company itself for its details. Typically, this is exactly what the partner companies interacting with each other do.
Step 2
However, you do not always need data about a valid verified partner, for example, to fill out a contract. The reasons why you may need the legal address of the firm are different: from the need to check the reliability of a potential partner to the desire to file a claim against this organization. Under these circumstances, it is no longer the right idea to request data from the representatives of the firm you are most interested in.
Step 3
There are ways to obtain data on the legal address of a company without involving the company itself. It is logical to assume that complete and verified information about the registration data of any legal entity (including its legal address) is available in the tax inspection authorities, because no company is registered bypassing the tax services.
Step 4
An extract from the State Register of Legal Entities can be obtained from the tax office upon request. The information received will be as accurate and up-to-date as possible, however, the provision of such a certificate is a paid service. Typically, a certificate of this type is issued within a few working days from the date of the request.
Step 5
There is also a free way to get information on-line, it is enough to refer to the Internet database generated on the website of the tax inspection. There are also some disadvantages here, albeit insignificant. To obtain information in the Internet database of the inspection, you will need the initial data on the company you are interested in. If you know the main state registration number (OGRN), state registration number (GRN) or individual tax number (TIN) of the organization, there will be no problems with the search. You can easily get the information you need. If only the name of the company is known, the search task becomes more complicated, here it is desirable to have at your disposal some specifying data (region of location, date of registration, etc.).
Step 6
The Internet resource also has one more nuance: the database update is carried out quite quickly, but still not on-line, so if the company you are looking for changed its legal address a few days ago, you risk getting outdated data.
