Jersey

How to use Kausate in Jersey — what you can call, which identifiers it uses, and which documents you can order

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

Operations

Documents

2 orderable

Your own registry account

Not needed

Company data here comes directly from JFSC Registry.

What you can call here

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

Operation	Status
Autocomplete	Coming soon
Company search	Live
Company report Includes: Registered details.	Live
Retrieve a document	Live
Prefill	Live

Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "je". Pass the name as companyName, a registration number as companyNumber, or both to narrow the result. Here companyNumber is read as registrationNumber.

Fields

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

Field	What it does
`name`	Company name to search for.
`registrationNumber`	JFSC registration number (not unique across entity types).

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "je",  "advancedQuery": {    "name": "Vistra"  }}

Jersey also accepts registrationNumber.

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	Appears as	Format
Jersey JFSC Node ID Internal JFSC source-record ID, not a published registration number (e.g. 190829)	`je_node_id`	`^\d+$`
Jersey Registration Number JFSC company registration number (not unique across entity types)	`je_registration_number`	`^\d+$`

Identifier notes

Jersey's registration number is not unique on its own — the registry reuses the same number across different entity types, so one number can match more than one entity (registration number 33715, for example, belongs to two unrelated entities). Treat the node ID as the identifier for a specific entity, and use the registration number only as a secondary reference.

Documents you can order

Document	Order by	Status
Jersey Entity Profile Report Official JFSC Entity Profile Report (Uncertified) — the Jersey company registration extract — delivered as a PDF. Active entities only; dissolved/struck-off/cancelled/wound-up/removed entities cannot be retrieved.	`register_extract` `register_extract_official`	Live
Jersey List Documents List available filed documents for a Jersey company	`JEJLD`	Live

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

Local notes

Gotchas

Trap	What happens
Reserved names outnumber companies	Most name-search matches aren't trading companies — reserved names and business names outnumber registered companies. Filter by legal form and status for live, operating companies only.
Three-character search minimum	Search queries under three characters are rejected outright, not partially matched — use three or more.
Broad terms fail outright	An overly broad or very common search term can fail outright with an error asking for a longer or more specific name, rather than returning a truncated list of matches. Keep search terms reasonably specific.

Glossary

Term	Meaning
`Reserved Name`	A name that has been reserved with the Jersey registry but has not been incorporated into a trading entity — a placeholder, not an operating company.
`Used`	For a reserved name, this status means the reservation was taken up and incorporated into an entity — the reservation itself is no longer active.
`Expired`	For a reserved name, this status means the reservation period lapsed without the name ever being used to incorporate an entity.
`Protected Cell Company / Incorporated Cell Company`	A Jersey company structure where a single legal entity is divided into segregated cells, each with its own ring-fenced assets and liabilities.
