Moldova coverage, pricing, and sources

Open the current catalog for supported datapoints, sources, identifiers, and availability.

This jurisdiction is in beta. Check the live pricing page or contact support before relying on it in production.

Moldova is prefill-only. Every request must pass "mode": "prefill". The country is served from a non-authoritative source, so there is no lane for verification — which is what /v2/company uses when you omit mode. A request without it comes back with the datapoint failed and the error code authoritative_source_unavailable. See Modes.

Country details below are preserved as integration notes. If a table or example conflicts with the live pricing page, use the pricing page as the source of truth and contact support.

Data Sources

Moldova has one data source: the ASP State Register open data, published weekly by the Public Services Agency (Agenția Servicii Publice) at dataset.gov.md. The register covers all three categories of legal entities:

Commercial entities — SRL, SA, ÎI, cooperative, branch, and all other commercial legal forms. Includes shareholders and activity codes.
Non-commercial organizations — AO, FND, SND, religious associations, political parties, periodical publications. No shareholders or activity codes.
State and central bodies — Ministries, agencies, and public institutions.

Data reflects the latest published weekly export for commercial and non-commercial entities (up to 7 days lag) and the latest monthly export for state bodies (up to 31 days lag). There is no live query to the register.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
IDNO	13 digits, the last a check digit	`1003603151655`	Numărul de identificare de stat. Primary identifier for all registered entities. A few old records carry a shorter number (e.g. `10013`), returned as published.

A small number of legacy records (pre-IDNO, registered before ~1995) have no IDNO in the open data. These are assigned a synthetic identifier, md_noidno_ followed by 12 lowercase hexadecimal characters (e.g. md_noidno_e251fab5710b), which stays the same across register updates. It is the company id search returns for them, and the identifiers object contains md_synthetic instead of idno.IDNO structure: 1XXXYYYZZZZZK: the digit 1, the last three digits of the year the number was assigned, a 3-digit code of the registering office, a 5-digit sequence number and a check digit. The check digit is the sum of the first 12 digits weighted 7, 3, 1 (repeating), modulo 10.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
`idno`	13 digits, the last a check digit	`1003603151655`	Present for all standard entities.
`md_synthetic`	`md_noidno_` + 12 lowercase hex chars	`md_noidno_e251fab5710b`	Present only for legacy pre-IDNO records; also their company `id`.

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

GLEIF is the supplementary data source for this identifier. company.identifiers.lei is optional. It is returned when the IDNO (idno) matches exactly one LEI through a GLEIF registration or validation reference. The Legal Entity Identifier has 20 uppercase alphanumeric characters, ending in two check digits. Coverage varies by entity. An absent lei does not prove that the company has no LEI. Lapsed, retired or merged LEIs may be returned; annulled LEIs are excluded.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Example	Match type	Notes
By IDNO (exact)	`1003603151655`	`id`	Exact match returned first; other results may follow.
By synthetic id (exact)	`md_noidno_e251fab5710b`	`id`	For legacy records without an IDNO.
By name (partial)	`GASTO`	`default` (`exactLegalName` on an exact name match)	Full-text search. Returns up to 20 results.

Both Romanian (Latin) and Cyrillic company names are indexed. Older records (pre-2000) may have names in Cyrillic script.

Search is free. Only company profile retrieval is charged.

Active companies only

Search can return companies that are no longer active. Each result carries the register’s status, so activeOnly=true removes the inactive ones. Companies in liquidation or insolvency count as inactive and are removed.

Supported Entity Types

Entity type	Supported	Notes
Commercial companies	Yes	SRL, SA, SAID, SAIC, SNC, SC, and all other commercial forms
Sole traders	Yes	ÎI (Întreprindere individuală), IIA (agricultural)
Non-commercial organizations	Yes	AO, FND, SND, religious, political, and other non-profits
State and central bodies	Yes	Ministries, agencies, public institutions
Dissolved / deregistered	Yes	Included in the open data with a deregistration date

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
No live register access	All data comes from weekly/monthly bulk exports. Real-time queries are not available.
Data lag	Commercial and non-commercial data is up to 7 days old. State bodies data is up to 31 days old.
No shareholder data for non-commercial and state bodies	The non-commercial and state bodies datasets do not include a founders/shareholders column. `shareholders` is always absent for these entity types.
Shareholders ~80% coverage	Approximately 20% of active commercial entities (mainly sole traders ÎI) have no shareholder data in the open data.
ALL CAPS names	All person names in the raw data are in ALL CAPS. Topograph applies title-casing at ingest time.
Mixed scripts	~0.6% of records have names or representatives in Cyrillic script, mainly pre-2000 registrations. Both scripts are searchable.
CAEM division-level codes	Some entities carry a division-level activity code (e.g. `1300` = all textile manufacturing) rather than a specific 4-digit class. These are mapped to the division-level NACE and ISIC descriptions.

Mappings

Company Status

Status is derived at ingest time from two fields: the deregistration date and role labels in the management column. No explicit status field exists in the open data.

Local status	English	Standardized status	Closure reason
Activ	Active	`ACTIVE`	—
Radiat	Deregistered	`CLOSED`	`LIQUIDATION`
În proces de lichidare	In liquidation process	`CLOSED`	`LIQUIDATION`
Insolvabil	Insolvent	`UNDER_INSOLVENCY_PROCEEDING`	—

Legal Representatives

The known catalogue contains 13 source labels, including the generic head designation for state bodies. Registered administrators and liquidators carry their appointment-specific powers; the open data does not establish a sole or joint signing rule.

Local role	English	Standardized
Administrator	Director / Manager	Director
Conducător	Head / Chief Executive	Director
Administrator provizoriu	Provisional Administrator	Administrator
Administrator fiduciar	Fiduciary / Trustee Administrator	Administrator
Administrator special	Special Administrator	Administrator
Administrator din oficiu	Ex officio Administrator	Liquidator
Lichidator	Liquidator	Liquidator
Administrator al procesului de insolvabilitate	Insolvency Administrator	Receiver
Administrator al procedurii planului	Plan Procedure Administrator	Receiver

Other Key Persons

Collective-body appointments appear in otherKeyPersons. Both individuals and corporate holders are retained when the source identifies them. An unfamiliar appointment remains visible without an assumed signing mandate.

Local role	English	Standardized
Direcţie de conducere	Management Board / Board of Directors	Board Member
Birou executiv	Executive Office / Board	Board Member
Comitet	Committee	Board Member
Comisia	Commission / Board	Board Member

Activity Codes

Moldova uses CAEM_REV2 (Clasificarea Activităților din Economia Moldovei, Rev. 2), which is identical in structure to NACE Rev. 2. For each CAEM_REV2 code, the response includes:

System	Example code	Description source
`CAEM_REV2`	`6201`	Official BNS nomenclature (Romanian)
`NACE`	`62.10`	NACE Rev. 2.1 English description
`ISIC`	`621`	Derived via UN NACE↔ISIC correspondence table

One code in, one code out. You get one NACE and one ISIC code per declared CAEM_REV2 code. Where a CAEM_REV2 code has no single equivalent in the target revision, the shared parent class is returned rather than every candidate — see One code in, one code out. Some older records carry 5-digit legacy CAEM_REV11 codes (pre-2005 classification). These are returned under the CAEM_REV11 key with no NACE or ISIC equivalent.

CAEM_REV2 (4-digit) → NACE Rev. 2.1 → ISIC Rev. 5
CAEM_REV11 (5-digit) → no mapping (legacy)
