🇩🇰Denmark

New to the API? Start with the jurisdictions overview, which explains how ordering, identifiers and documents work everywhere.

Company data here comes directly from Det Centrale Virksomhedsregister (CVR).

What you can call here

What each operation does is the same everywhere and is explained on the jurisdictions overview.

How to search

Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "dk". Pass the name as companyName. Denmark takes no other search criteria.

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "dk",  "advancedQuery": {    "name": "Mærsk"  }}

The same query also matches 22756214.

Company identifiers

Denmark 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 notes

• In the shareholder graph, a foreign or otherwise unclassifiable owner — one recorded as a company, or one the register could not classify at all — can carry a free-text line reading "Registry key: <number>" in its description. That number is Denmark's own internal register key for the participant, not a Danish CVR company number: even though it is numeric like one, never use it as, or confuse it with, a company identifier. (This applies only to shareholder-graph entries — it is not shown on a company's legal representatives.)
• A Danish company's report can list its own production units — physical places of business — among its related companies, each carrying a 10-digit Danish production-unit number (P-nummer). This is a separate scheme from the 8-digit CVR company number: a P-nummer identifies a workplace, not a legal entity, so such an entry is not a subsidiary or a separately searchable company, and a single company can have several.

Documents you can order

Documents with a shortcut are ordered directly by that name — for example annual_accounts. The rest are filings whose availability differs per company: call list documents first and order the ID it returns.
