Frequently asked questions about the Romania KYB API
What company data can I verify in Romania?
For a Romania company, the API returns the company record read live from the Oficiul Național al Registrului Comerțului: 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 Romania availability.
Does the API return beneficial ownership (UBO) data for Romania companies?
The API resolves the controlling parties, shareholders, and beneficial owners for Romania 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 Oficiul Național al Registrului Comerțului discloses. See the UBO API.
Can I retrieve official registry documents for Romania companies?
Yes. The default document set for Romania includes Registry Extract, retrieved by default, with additional documents available on demand (Certificat constatator de bază (Basic finding certificate), Certificat constatator fonduri IMM (Certificate of SME funds), Certificat constatator pentru insolvență (Certificate of insolvency)). List and download them with the documents endpoint (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/documents).
