Each status used in Poland, in English, with the standard status the Prometiam API returns and what it means for doing business with the company.
Every register words its company states differently. This guide lists the status values used in Poland, what each means in English, and the standard status the Prometiam API returns for it, so the same question (is this company still alive, in trouble or gone?) has the same answer across countries. The register’s own value stays available as local_status.
| Register status | local_status | status in the API | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aktywna: entered in KRS, or active in CEIDG | active | active | active |
| Zawieszona: a sole trader’s activity is suspended (CEIDG) | suspended | suspended | active |
| W restrukturyzacji: in restructuring proceedings | in_restructuring | in_restructuring | distress |
| Zarząd komisaryczny: managed by a court-appointed commissioner | compulsory_administration | in_administration | distress |
| W upadłości: in bankruptcy proceedings | bankrupt | in_liquidation_insolvent | winding_up |
| W likwidacji: in liquidation | in_liquidation | in_liquidation | winding_up |
| Rozwiązana: dissolved, not yet struck off | in_dissolution | in_dissolution | winding_up |
| Wykreślona: struck off the register | dissolved | deregistered | closed |
active): The register shows no dissolution, insolvency or removal. That is the normal state, but not a guarantee of solvency or good standing: check filings and payment behaviour as your policy requires.suspended): The entity is still on the register but is out of compliance or has suspended its activity. Ask for proof that it is back in good standing before you rely on it.in_restructuring): A court-supervised rescue is open while the company keeps trading. Existing creditors are usually bound or held back by the plan, so agree payment terms in advance and check which creditors the plan covers.in_administration): An administrator, not the directors, runs the company. Deal with the administrator, who decides which contracts continue, and expect claims against the company to be frozen or handled inside the procedure.in_liquidation_insolvent): Bankruptcy or judicial liquidation: the company is being wound up to pay its creditors. File your claim with the liquidator or trustee, do not ship on credit, and expect contracts to be ended or handled by the liquidator.in_liquidation): The company is being wound up and no longer trades normally. Stop new credit, file any claim, and ask who the liquidator is.in_dissolution): Dissolution has been resolved but the legal entity survives for its liquidation. This is not the same as a British or American dissolved company, which no longer exists. Treat it as in liquidation: no new business.deregistered): Removed from the register: the legal person no longer exists (in the US: dissolved, revoked, withdrawn or no longer listed in that state). It cannot sign, be sued or be paid, so invoice a successor or the former owners and check whether it merged. Some registers can restore or reinstate an entity, so check before you treat it as final.KRS and CEIDG use different words: a company’s state comes from KRS, a sole trader’s from CEIDG, where an entry can also be suspended.

status is the same list in every country; local_status is the register’s own value. Use one or the other, not both. Outside Spain a status filter must be combined with a name or an identifier.
