A report on a search for time variability of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) detected during the Rosat all sky survey in the north and south ecliptic polar regions is given. The time coverage ranges from 6 months within 1 deg around the poles to 12 days at 10 deg off the poles. The present analysis is based on 118 days (approximately 65 of the total observation time) and includes the brightest 64 sources with 13 deg from the two poles. 40 of these could be identified, the majority are bright large magellanic clouds objects and coronal stars and also 5 AGN. Preliminary results of time variability analysis are presented in particular the light curves of two very strongly variable, as yet unidentified sources.
