Identifiers

Send the registration number as business_entity_id, with country_code set to BI.

You can also search by legal name.

Statuses and legal forms

Every result carries the register's own status in registration_info.status and an AiPrise status in registration_info.normalised_status. The normalised status is one of Active, Suspended, Dormant, Dissolved / Struck Off, In Liquidation / Insolvency or Unknown.

Register status	Normalised status
Active	Active
No status in the register data	Unknown

Legal forms come back in entity_type as English descriptions, for example Sole proprietorship/trader.

Quirks and gotchas

Country-specific behaviour to know before you integrate.

Quirk	Details
Status is often missing	About 10 in 10 results have no register status, so `normalised_status` is `Unknown`. Read it as "not reported", not as inactive.
Sparse register data	In production, the register data held the registration date for no companies and the address for about 2 in 10 companies. Plan your review around the legal name and registration number.
No officers or owners from the register	The register data has no directors, shareholders or UBOs. Collect them in your onboarding flow and verify each person with KYC.

Limits

Directors, shareholders and UBOs are not returned for this country.
Register documents are not available.
