Norway organisation number check

Q: Can I check organisation numbers from code or in bulk?

Yes. The same check is available over the REST API (GET /v1/no/orgnr/{id}) and the MCP server, with the same key as every other country. See the API docs.

Check a Norway organisation number against the official registry and get the legal name, the status and a pass, review or fail verdict. Official registry

Example: 923609016 (Equinor). No account needed: 10 lookups a day per network, shared with the keyless API.

What this check tells you

Official registry

For ORGNR we first check the structure and check digit, then look the number up in Brønnøysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret) (live). The answer gives the legal name and the registry status, and a pass, review or fail verdict with reasons. Every answer carries source.data_as_of.

Businesses run by one person get their status only, never a name or address.

Norway ID formats we check

ID type	Level	Check digit	API endpoint	Official lookup
ORGNR Organisasjonsnummer (also the VAT number “NO … MVA”)	Official registry	Weighted mod 11	`GET /v1/no/orgnr/{id}`	Brønnøysund Register Centre search

From code

Same key and quota as every other country. A well-formed request costs one lookup; a source that does not answer returns HTTP 503 and is not counted.

curl "https://taxid.halpii.com/v1/no/orgnr/923609016" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

Questions

Does a valid organisation number mean the company exists?

Only the registry lookup tells you that. A number that passes the format check is then looked up in Brønnøysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret); the answer says whether it was found and its status.

Where does the data come from?

From Brønnøysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret) (live). Each answer includes the source and the date of the data.
