Albania

Topograph reads Albanian Commercial Register (QKB) and Albanian Register of Beneficial Owners (QKB) and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons, shareholders, ultimate beneficial owners and establishments of Albania companies through one API.

Albania keeps its companies and its beneficial owners at one institution, QKB (Qendra Kombëtare e Biznesit, the National Business Center). Every entity is identified by its NIPT, the same number the tax administration uses. Search by NIPT or by name, then request the datapoints with the NIPT.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).
