What does the verification verdict tell me?

You get an overall verification_status plus a signals object — active, not bankrupt, signing authority defined and annual accounts filed — that you can branch on in a single if-statement, instead of interpreting raw registry data yourself.

What does a null signal mean?

Signals are tri-state — true, false or null. null means the answer is unknown, never a silent “no”, so your agent can tell “confirmed false” apart from “we could not determine it”.

Where does the verification data come from?

The verdict is normalised across the open Brønnøysund registries — Enhetsregisteret (status, bankruptcy and dissolution, role data for signing authority) and Regnskapsregisteret (filed annual accounts) — and every response states the data sources it rests on.

Solution

One check before you act

Is the company real, is it active, and is it safe to act for? This combo gathers registry status, bankruptcy and dissolution signals, signing authority and filed annual accounts into one verification verdict — before you onboard a customer or run a transaction.

What it does

Verification folds several registry signals into one structured answer with an overall status.

Tri-state signals (true/false/null) for active, not bankrupt, not under dissolution, signing authority defined and accounts filed — null means unknown, never a silent “no”.
An overall verification status you can branch on in a single if-statement.
Normalised across the open Brønnøysund registries (Enhetsregisteret, role data and Regnskapsregisteret), with the data sources stated on the response.

Who it's for

For teams making onboarding, credit, or transaction decisions about Norwegian companies.

AI agents that must confirm a counterparty before attempting a binding action.
Platforms onboarding business customers that want a machine-readable KYB building block.
