Quirks and gotchas

Country-specific behaviour to know before you integrate.

Quirk	Details
Status is often missing	About 5 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 legal form for no companies and the registration date 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.
RCCM number format	RCCM numbers carry the country, the city registry, the year and a sequence, for example `CD/KNG/RCCM/19-B-12345`. Send the number as written on the RCCM certificate, separators included.
