Data Sources

Antigua and Barbuda uses a single official register. All data comes from the Intellectual Property and Commerce Office (IPCO), which keeps the companies register of Antigua and Barbuda (abipco.gov.ag). There is no cross-register merging.

IPCO companies register: the sole source for company search and for the company datapoint. It provides the legal name, entity number, company type, status, incorporation date, and registered office address.

Same answer in both modes. The IPCO register is the only source, so onboarding (mode: "onboarding") and verification (mode: "verification") requests return the same data from the same source.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Examples	Notes
Entity Number	`C` prefix + digits, optionally with a year suffix (`/YY` or `/YYYY`) and sometimes with a space after the `C`	`C4521`, `C52/08`, `C 917`, `C0310/2024`	Issued by IPCO. The only public identifier for a company.

Pass the entity number exactly as the register writes it, including any space. Some numbers contain a space after the C (for example C 917). The register treats C 917 and C917 as different values, so the version without the space does not find the company, in search or in /v2/company. If you are unsure of the exact spelling, search by company name and use the id it returns.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
`entityNumber`	Same as the query identifier	`C4521`	All companies

The company id is the entity number, as written by the register.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Entity Number	`C` + digits, optional year suffix	`C4521`	`id`	Companies whose entity number matches the query
By Name	2 to 100 characters	`"Example Trading"`	`default`, or `exactLegalName` when the query equals the legal name	Multiple results

Search is live. Both name and entity-number searches query the IPCO register in real time. Name search matches the query anywhere in the legal name, so short queries return many results. Use a fuller name to narrow them down.

An entity-number search can return more than one company when other numbers contain the same characters. Pick the result whose id equals your entity number, then pass that id to /v2/company.

Search results carry the company id, legalName, countryCode, and matchReason. Status, company type, and address come with the company datapoint.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Entity number spacing matters	Some entity numbers include a space after the `C`. Keep it. Removing the space means the register does not find the company.
Varied entity number shapes	Numbers appear with or without a year suffix (`C4521`, `C52/08`, `C0310/2024`). Treat the whole string, suffix included, as the identifier.
Company data only	The register publishes a company-level record. Officers, directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners are not published, so `legalRepresentatives`, `otherKeyPersons`, `shareholders`, and `ultimateBeneficialOwners` are not available.
Legal form is not standardized	The company type is returned as the register writes it (for example `Private Ordinary Company`) in `legalForm.localName`, without an English translation or standardized value.
Status is the register’s own label	`status.localName` is the register’s status text. `status.active` is `true` only when that text is `Active`.
Single-line address	The registered office address is published as one free-text line. It is returned in `legalAddress.addressLine1` with `countryCode: "AG"`, and is not split into city or postal code.
No activity codes	The register does not collect industry classification codes, so no national, NACE, or ISIC codes are returned.
No documents	The register does not offer downloadable certificates or extracts.
