Trace Norwegian shell companies directly via Brønnøysundregistrene API
Norway's Brønnøysundregistrene provides an open API for tracing shell companies and verifying corporate entities. The API allows access to two main databases, Enhetsregisteret and Foretaksregisteret, which contain essential information about legal entities. While Norway's registry is transparent, certain data, such as national identity numbers and beneficial ownership details, remain restricted.
- ▪Norway assigns a unique nine-digit organisation number to every legal entity, starting with 8 or 9.
- ▪The Brønnøysundregistrene agency manages the public data, which is accessible under an open license.
- ▪The API allows users to bypass legacy databases and access raw data directly from the registers.
