🇪🇪Estonia

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

Company data here comes directly from Äriregister.

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: "ee". Pass the name as companyName, a registration number as companyNumber, or both to narrow the result. Here companyNumber is read as registryCode.

Fields

To say exactly what you mean, send an advancedQuery instead. Estonia understands these fields:

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "ee",  "advancedQuery": {    "registryCode": "10234957"  }}

Estonia also accepts vatNumber.

Company identifiers

Search by passing the registration number as companyNumber — it is matched against the schemes this register can search on, so you do not name the scheme yourself. Not every scheme below is searchable; the rest label the values returned in a company’s identifiers.

Identifier notes

• Shareholder and beneficial-owner records never carry a real Estonian personal code for natural persons — only a stable, one-way hash (identifier type ee_rik_person_hash). Estonia's register stopped publishing raw personal codes in its open data on 2024-11-01. A company's officers and legal representatives, shown elsewhere on the same profile, still carry a real personal code there — the two are not the same kind of value and will not match, even for the same person.
• Some officers and legal representatives on an Estonian company profile carry no personal identifier at all, only a date of birth — the register itself withholds the personal code on that record. Treat a representative with no identifier as expected, not as missing data, and match on name and date of birth instead.

Documents you can order

Documents with a shortcut are ordered directly by that name — for example articles_of_association. Those shown with a code have no cross-jurisdiction shortcut: order them by the code itself — for example EEREEN.
