Poland has the sharpest near-term compliance catalyst in the EU. This guide walks through the regulatory stack, who it affects, and how to verify Polish counterparties — KRS registry, NIP and sanctions — through one API before the deadline.
1 July 2026 is the MiCA CASP authorisation cut-off. Poland's national implementing law was vetoed, leaving roughly 1,300 registered VASPs with no domestic licensing route. From 2 July, a Polish VASP without a MiCA authorisation (domestic or passported) must cease operating or redomicile — triggering fresh KYB on new structures and re-screening of counterparties.
Two calls cover the company leg: a registry-resolution search against the KRS register (returning NIP, REGON, legal form, PKD, address and capital), and a sanctions screen against the EU, UN, OFAC and UK OFSI lists with scored fuzzy matching. One Bearer key also covers Spain, France, the UK, Ireland and Norway.
KRS company registry is live (~732K active entities). KRZ insolvency and CRBR beneficial-ownership are not yet included; collect UBO by self-declaration. Sole traders (CEIDG) are a separate register and not covered.
