Documents, as the register names them

Company details extract

Speed

Step	Typical	9 in 10 within
Business verification (company data, directors)	65 seconds	6 minutes

The register is slower than most. These are typical times from production, not a service-level commitment: set timeouts well above them, or use callbacks.

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
Live	Active

Legal forms come back in entity_type with the licence category, for example Private Company (Global Business Company).

Quirks and gotchas

Country-specific behaviour to know before you integrate.

Quirk	Details
Slow register	A verification takes about a minute, and up to 6 minutes. Use callbacks.
Register outages	The register is sometimes unavailable. Company data and directors then come back empty; re-run the check later.
Global business companies	About 2 in 3 results are global business companies. The category is part of `entity_type`, for example `Private Company (Global Business Company)`.

Limits

Shareholders and UBOs are not returned.
The company details extract is not available for every company.
