Latvian company lookup API: find a register record

Look up a registration number

Set STRALE_API_KEY to your API key, then run:

curl -X POST https://api.strale.io/v1/do \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRALE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "capability_slug": "latvian-company-data",
    "inputs": { "reg_number": "40003245752" },
    "max_price_cents": 5
  }'

Compare output.reg_number and output.company_name with the company you intended to check. A failed request or missing match is not evidence that a business has closed.

Search by name when needed

Replace the inputs with {"company_name":"Air Baltic"}. Supply one lookup field at a time: reg_number takes precedence over company_name, which takes precedence over task. Text containing an 11-digit registration number is treated as an identifier lookup.

Name search selects one record from up to ten source matches, preferring records without a termination date. Check the returned registration number and address; this is not a list of candidates or a verified identity match.

Interpret status and officers

The Latvian Enterprise Register dataset is refreshed daily. A request today can still precede the publication of a recent filing. The tool derives Reģistrēts (registered), Likvidēts (liquidated) and Slēgts (closed) from the source’s termination and closure fields. These labels do not assess solvency.

legal_representatives contains available current officers and other persons entitled to represent the entity. An empty array means the lookup returned no named entries; null means that lookup failed. Read tier_2_available_reason alongside it. A failure can leave the company record available while officer information is unavailable.

At most 50 officer records are requested. total_legal_representatives reports the source total when provided, so it can exceed the returned list length. Historical officers, birth dates, beneficial owners and financial statements are outside this response. Other missing source fields can be null.

Continue with the matched company

The returned vat_number is derived from the registration number. It does not establish VAT registration; use VAT Validation for a separate VIES check. After confirming the entity’s identity, Sanctions Check can identify potential name matches for review.
