How to search
Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "al". Pass the name as companyName. Albania takes no other search criteria.
Examples
{ "jurisdictionCode": "al", "advancedQuery": { "name": "Albtelekom" }}Company identifiers
Albania has no number-based search: find a company by name, then use the kausateId search returns. These schemes label the values that come back in a company’s identifiers.
| Identifier | Appears as | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Albanian NIPT Albanian NIPT (Numri i Identifikimit të Personit të Tatueshëm) - 1 letter + 8 digits + 1 letter | al_nipt | ^[A-Z]\d{8}[A-Z]$ |

Gotchas
| Trap | What happens |
|---|---|
| Roles not distinguished | The people list mixes directors, administrators, partners and shareholders with no indication of role, and there's no separate shareholders list — treat every name as merely associated with the company, not as its management or ownership structure. |
| Sole traders included | The register includes sole traders alongside companies — a result's legal form may be Person Fizik (natural person) rather than a corporate form. |
Glossary
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
SHPK | Albanian for limited liability company (Shoqëri me Përgjegjësi të Kufizuar) — the most common legal form for private companies in this register. |
SHA | Albanian for joint-stock company (Shoqëri Aksionare). |
Person Fizik | Albanian for "natural person" — the legal form value returned when the registered subject is an individual (a sole trader) rather than a company. |
