Frequently asked questions about the Estonia KYB API
What company data can I verify in Estonia?
For a Estonia company, the API returns the company record read live from the e-Äriregister: the entity name, type, status, registration number, address, and registration date, along with the controlling parties, the shareholders and beneficial owners, and the available registry documents. See the table above for the full Estonia availability.
Does the API return beneficial ownership (UBO) data for Estonia companies?
The API resolves the controlling parties, shareholders, and beneficial owners for Estonia companies and exposes them as a recursive ownership org-chart (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/org-chart), tracing control through holding companies to the individual beneficial owners. The depth available depends on what the e-Äriregister discloses. See the UBO API.
Can I retrieve official registry documents for Estonia companies?
Yes. The default document set for Estonia includes Registry Extract, retrieved by default, with additional documents available on demand (History of the registry card, Beneficial owners, Annual Report, Articles of Association). List and download them with the documents endpoint (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/documents).
