S24 online registration — overview

S24 is a route that allows you to register a company online without the classic circulation of paper documents. For many people it is the fastest path to a KRS entry, but it will not always be the best choice. It is worth knowing the limits, requirements and differences versus the traditional route before you file.

Update: 5 March 2026

In brief:

• S24 uses agreement templates and offers limited flexibility.
• The most common delays result from formal deficiencies and inconsistent data.
• The traditional route is more flexible but usually takes longer.

Which companies can be registered in S24

S24 is available for selected company types and is based on ready-made document templates. This means not every legal form can be registered online, and the company agreement has a fixed framework. If you plan non-standard clauses or a complex share structure, consider the traditional route and check the KRS registration path.

What to prepare before filing

Company and shareholder data

Before you start in S24, have these basics organized:

• data of shareholders and persons representing the company,
• registered office address and contact details,
• a decision whether you choose S24 or the traditional route,
• arrangements on contributions and cooperation rules.

Document templates and limits

For LLC registration, it is important to prepare information about share capital and how it will be covered, even if you enter it using a template.

Checklist before starting in S24

• Choose the registration route and confirm S24 fits your company.
• Collect full data of shareholders and representatives.
• Prepare the key arrangements for the agreement template.
• Check who signs the application and with which signature.

S24 registration — step by step

Application, fees and signatures

In practice the process looks like this:

• filling out the application in the eKRS system,
• attaching required statements and attachments,
• paying the fee,
• electronic signatures by authorized persons,
• waiting for court verification.

Most delays come from formal deficiencies or inconsistent data. That is why it is worth double-checking everything before you submit.

The application is filed in the S24 system within the Court Registers Portal.

Common problems in S24

• missing statements or attachments,
• inconsistent shareholder data between the application and template,
• incorrect electronic signatures,
• overly general arrangements in the agreement.

S24 vs traditional route — differences

S24 is usually faster and simpler, but it has limitations related to agreement templates and the scope of possible changes. The traditional route offers more flexibility but tends to be slower and more formal. If you need non-standard solutions, the traditional option is often safer.
