Slovenian Business Registry (2026 Update)
The Slovenian business registry – known as AJPES – is one of Europe's most transparent company registers. It publishes not just basic company information but bank account IBANs, shareholder details, and annual financial data.
This guide explains what data is available, how to search it, and what recent reforms mean for compliance professionals.
What Is AJPES?
AJPES (the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Public Legal Records and Related Services) maintains the Primary Business Register (PRS). It is the official source of company registry data in Slovenia. If you need to verify a Slovenian company – its directors, owners, finances, or legal status – this is where you go.
What Data Does the Slovenian Business Registry Provide?
Access is tiered. Some information is public; other data requires an account or proof of legitimate interest.
Basic (public access): Entity name, ID number, tax ID number, legal form, company size, and business activity.
Contact: Email address, registered address, and phone number.
Officers: Director ("representative") names, addresses, ID numbers, and date of appointment.
Ownership: Shareholder names, shareholding percentages, and addresses. Beneficial ownership (UBO) data requires proof of legitimate interest — see below.
Financial: Bank account IBAN, balance sheet, and income data. This level of financial transparency is rare among European company registries.
How to Search the Slovenian Company Registry
1. Go to the AJPES Portal
Visit ajpes.si/prs. Select English from the top-right language menu.
2. Search for a Company
Search by company name, historic name, ID number, or tax number. You can narrow results by address, activity, sector, or legal form. Typing a company name triggers a live dropdown of matching results.

3. View Basic Information
Without logging in, you can see a company's name, ID number, tax number, and registered address.
4. Create a Free Account
For full access, register with your name, email address, phone number, and a password. It takes minutes.
5. Investigate the Legal Entity
Once logged in, the Slovenian business register gives you a complete picture:
Basic: Name, address, company size, and contact details.
Legal: Tax and ID numbers, legal form, and business activity.
Officers: Names, IDs, dates of appointment, and addresses of directors and founders.
Ownership: Shareholder name, address, share capital, and percentage interest.
You can also view "Associated Persons", a useful tool for mapping connected individuals across multiple entities.
6. Access Financial Data
In the bottom-right corner, click "More in Fi-Po" to reach the financial data page. Here you will find:
Bank account details: IBAN, opening date, and closing date.
Annual reports: Balance sheet and income, available as structured data.
Beneficial ownership: Requires proof of legitimate interest (see below).
To download annual reports, complete a simple human-verification step.
Available Documents
When the Kyckr Team accessed the PRS on March 9, 2026, we found that the documents were free and available for immediate PDF download.
Extract from the Court Register: Current information, including basic data, ownership interests, authorised representatives, and dates of changes to the articles of association.
Extract from the Business Register: Basic information, bank account details, sector, and business activity.
Annual Report: Financial data (income and balance sheet). Also available as machine-readable data.
General Entry of Change: Records changes in share capital.
Accessing the Slovenian UBO Register
Slovenia's beneficial ownership register sits within AJPES. Since August 2025, unrestricted public access has ended. You must now demonstrate a legitimate interest if you want to view UBO data.
Who can access it: Journalists, civil society organisations, and anyone engaged in anti-money laundering work or about to enter a business relationship.
How to request access: By email, with supporting documents attached.
Cost and speed: Free, with fast turnaround times.
This change aligns with the EU's revised AML framework and brings Slovenia in line with updated beneficial ownership access rules across member states.
APIs and Open Data
Open Data
AJPES publishes basic company registry datasets every three months in an XML format. Data includes registration number, business address, legal form, and registration authority.
RESTful API (2026 Update)
In February 2026, the PRS replaced its legacy SOAP API with a modern RESTful model called restPrsInfo.
Supports: JSON and XML
Returns: All entity data, such as name, address, tax number, registration number, and status
Access: Requires registration on the AJPES web portal and purchase of a data schema package
Pricing: Sold in packages tied to one of six schema codes, varying by data depth (minimal, narrow, or extended) and billing type
Where the old SOAP model required rigid XML envelopes and specialist tooling, the REST API works with any modern programming language or HTTP client. It is a significant improvement for developers building compliance or due diligence workflows.
How Reliable Is the Slovenian Business Registry?
Slovenia's business registry has improved substantially in recent years. Data is digitised, structured, and updated regularly. That said, AJPES does not independently verify the information that companies submit. Treat registry data as a strong starting point.
2026 Reforms: What Has Changed?
Mandatory digital filing: From October 2025, Slovenia's National Assembly introduced digital-only applications under the EU's "once-only" principle. Paper filing is being phased out.
New UBO access regime: Technical upgrades to the AJPES UBO system are required by 10 July 2026 to fully implement the new Legitimate Interest Access (LIA) controls.
Transition to RESTful API: The legacy SOAP API was retired in February 2026 and replaced with restPrsInfo, a cleaner, more developer-friendly interface supporting JSON and XML.
Searching One Registry Is Rarely Enough
AJPES is transparent, well-structured, and increasingly modern. But in practice, compliance and due diligence rarely stop at one country's borders.
Searching each jurisdiction's registry individually is slow and inconsistent. Some are in local languages only. Many require separate accounts. Others are poorly digitised.
