Register of Public Sector Partners
The Register of Public Sector Partners (RPVS) is mandatory for entities doing business with the state or drawing on public funds. Registration is carried out by an authorised person — usually a lawyer — who also verifies and evidences the beneficial owners.
Who it is for
- You are bidding for or have won a public contract
- You draw subsidies or EU funds
- The ownership or management structure of a registered entity has changed
- You need to check whether the registration duty applies to you
Key areas of work

How we handle it
We handle the whole process — from assessing whether the duty applies to you, through preparing the documents and verifying the beneficial owners, to the filing itself and subsequent updates.
Changes deserve particular attention: a change in the ownership or management structure triggers a duty to update the register. This is the obligation most often forgotten in practice, and failing to meet it has real consequences.
Frequently asked questions
Who must be registered in the RPVS?
＋
In simple terms, entities receiving public funds or contracting with the state and municipalities above statutory thresholds. Whether the duty applies to you is assessed against the specific contract and the value involved.
Who is a beneficial owner?
＋
The natural person who actually controls the entity or benefits from it — not necessarily the person recorded as a shareholder. In more complex structures, ownership must be traced through to specific individuals.
Can I register in the RPVS myself?
＋
No. The filing is made by an authorised person, who is also responsible for verifying the beneficial owners. A lawyer, notary, auditor or tax adviser must therefore be part of the process.
