Data licensed from 🇬🇧 UK Companies House · 🇮🇪 CRO Ireland · 🇳🇴 Brønnøysund · 🇨🇭 Zefix · 🇵🇱 KRS Ministry of Justice — and 22 more national registries under their respective open-data licences.

Above: an AI agent walks the shareholders of Iceland Foods Ltd through 4 UK holding companies — WD FF MIDCO → ICELAND VLNCO → LANNIS → WD FF LIMITED — and surfaces the 8 individuals who actually own the chain (Tarsem Dhaliwal 41.35% as the largest shareholder, Walker family 51.31% combined). Every share count, every percentage, read verbatim from the registry's own CS01 PDFs.

OpenRegistry is your AI agent's live hotline to 30 national company registries — UK Companies House, France RNE, Germany Handelsregister, Italy InfoCamere (via EU BRIS), Spain BORME, Poland KRS, Korea OpenDART, Canada CBCA, 10 US states, and more.

We return the registry's own response — unmodified. Every field name, every status value, every raw filing byte (XHTML iXBRL / PDF / XBRL) is preserved exactly as the government's system emits it. The identifiers and jurisdiction routing let you reconstruct the government URL for any record. No aggregator markup. No field renames. No document re-rendering. No AI reinterpretation. No stale cache.

Chain queries across borders in a single prompt — a UK Ltd → its Luxembourg SARL → its Cayman LP → the Jersey trust → the individual beneficiary, all in one conversation. Walk ownership structures through 30 jurisdictions to unmask the real person behind any company.

The 6 pillars

How OpenRegistry differs

One-liner. OpenCorporates and BvD are aggregators that re-shape and cache; CH-direct is single-jurisdiction. OpenRegistry is the layer between an AI agent and the original government APIs — verbatim, live, multi-country, no API key for the free tier.

Where OpenRegistry deliberately doesn't have data (statutorily restricted BO registers post-CJEU C-37/20: DE, ES, IT, NL, LU, AT, MT, PT), the response carries a structured alternative_url pointing at the AML-obliged-only statutory portal. We don't pretend to have data we don't.

Quick example calls
