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.

Legal forms come back in Croatian in entity_type, for example društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću (d.o.o.) and dioničko društvo (d.d.).

Quirks and gotchas

Country-specific behaviour to know before you integrate.

QuirkDetails
Two company numbersCroatian companies have an 11-digit OIB and a 9-digit MBS. Either works in business_entity_id.
UBOs as a documentUBOs come back as the UBO register extract, not as people in the response. Read the document for the owners.
Board roles are not normalisedManagement and supervisory board titles (for example Member of the Management Board) can come back with the normalised role UNKNOWN. Read the role name.

Limits

  • Financial statements come back only when the company has filed them.
  • Data comes from a small number of verifications so far.
