# Norway

Company data from the Norway business register, through the Topograph API.

## Overview

Topograph reads BRREG (Brønnøysund Register Centre) and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons and establishments of Norway companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

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

| Datapoint | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |
| Legal representatives | Yes |
| Other key persons | Yes |
| Establishments | Yes |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | No |
| Financials | Yes |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Registerutskrift
- Årsregnskap

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 2 s (approx.) in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.

## Sources

The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.

- **[BRREG (Brønnøysund Register Centre)](https://data.brreg.no)**: Brønnøysundregistrene – Norwegian register authority hosting the Entity Register (Enhetsregisteret)
- **[GLEIF (Legal Entity Identifiers)](https://www.gleif.org/en/lei-data/gleif-golden-copy/download-the-golden-copy)** (secondary): Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation – Legal Entity Identifier reference data

## Identifiers

Request a company by its Organisation Number (Organisasjonsnummer) as the `id`, with `countryCode` set to `NO`. Its format, validation rules and an example value are in the full reference.
