What Documents Are Required to Register an LLC in Poland via S24 in 2026
Registration of an LLC in Poland via S24 has been the most popular way to start a business for several years, especially among foreigners. The S24 system (Online Company Registration System) allows you to establish a limited liability company (spółka z o.o.) entirely online — without visiting a notary, without paper contracts, and without long waiting times.
In practice, clients often ask: what documents are actually required to register an LLC in Poland via S24, and what is just a myth? Below is a clear explanation from a lawyer, presented in a practical and understandable way.
Registration of an LLC in Poland via S24: key requirements
Despite the online format, registration of an LLC in Poland via S24 requires proper preparation. However, this is not about traditional paper documents, but rather about accurate data and electronic tools.
Electronic signature for LLC registration in Poland via S24
Without an electronic signature, registration of an LLC in Poland via S24 is not possible, as all documents are signed exclusively online.
In 2025, one of the following options is required:
Trusted Profile (Profil Zaufany) — if the shareholder has a PESEL number;
Qualified electronic signature — the best solution for foreigners without a PESEL number.
Important: an electronic signature is required for each shareholder and each member of the management board who signs documents in the system.
Data of shareholders and members of the management board
To register an LLC in Poland via S24, the following information must be prepared:
passport details or PESEL number;
residential address;
information on the distribution of shares among shareholders;
data of management board members and the method of company representation
(acting individually or jointly).
If a foreign company is a shareholder, its registration details will also be required.
Company registered address in Poland
The S24 system does not require uploading a lease agreement; however:
the address must be real;
the right to use the address (lease agreement, owner’s consent, or registered office service) will be required after registration, in particular by banks and tax authorities.
This is one of the most frequently underestimated aspects at the company formation stage.
Documents generated automatically in the S24 system
One of the main advantages of registering an LLC in Poland via S24 is that there is no need to prepare the articles of association separately.
Articles of association (Umowa spółki)
The articles of association are generated directly in the S24 system based on a standard template. They include, among others:
the company name;
share capital;
shareholders’ shares;
management bodies;
PKD business activity codes.
At the same time, the system automatically generates:
list of shareholders (lista wspólników);
statement on the contribution of share capital (oświadczenie o wniesieniu kapitału).
All documents are signed electronically.
⚠️ In S24, only cash contributions are allowed — contributions in kind (aports) are not permitted.
PKD business activity codes
PKD codes are selected directly in the electronic form. No separate documents are required; however, choosing the correct codes is crucial for the company’s future operations.
Court fee
After confirming all data, the court fee is paid online, without the need to visit a bank.
The only document that must be prepared outside the S24 system
Despite the high level of automation, one document must be prepared separately when registering an LLC in Poland via S24.
Statement on foreign status
This is a written statement by the management board specifying whether the company is considered a foreign entity under the Act of 24 March 1920 on the acquisition of real estate by foreigners.
The statement must include:
the full company name;
ownership structure;
a clear declaration: “is / is not a foreign entity.”
The document is uploaded to the S24 system using the appropriate function.
Documents not required for S24 but needed after registration
After completing the registration of an LLC in Poland via S24, the following will be required:
a lease agreement or another document confirming the registered address;
documents for opening a bank account
(KRS extract and files generated by the S24 system);registration of beneficial owners in the CRBR register;
submission of the VAT-R form (if VAT registration is required).

Lawyer’s conclusion
Registration of an LLC in Poland via S24 is a fast and convenient way to start a business in the European Union. The system significantly simplifies formalities but requires accuracy in data and a properly structured company setup.
Most mistakes occur at the preparation stage, which is why professional legal support helps avoid future issues with banks, tax authorities, and the National Court Register (KRS).
