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	`1003603151655`	Numărul de identificare de stat. Primary identifier for all registered entities.

A small number of legacy records (pre-IDNO, registered before ~1995) have no IDNO in the open data. These are assigned a synthetic identifier of the form md_noidno_{12hex} derived from a hash of the entity’s name, legal form, and registration date. The identifiers object will contain md_synthetic instead of idno for these records.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
`idno`	13 digits	`1003603151655`	Present for all standard entities.
`md_synthetic`	`md_noidno_` + 12 hex chars	`md_noidno_e251fab5710b`	Present only for legacy pre-IDNO records.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Example	Match type	Notes
By IDNO (exact)	`1003603151655`	`id`	Single result.
By name (partial)	`GASTO`	`name`	Full-text search. Returns up to 25 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.

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

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

13 distinct roles are observed in the commercial dataset.

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

Board and collective roles (Direcţie de conducere, Birou executiv, Comitet, Comisia) are returned as otherKeyPersons, not legalRepresentatives.

Activity Codes

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

System	Example code	Description source
`CAEM-2`	`6201`	Official BNS nomenclature (Romanian)
`NACE`	`62.01`	NACE Rev. 2 English description
`ISIC`	`6201`	Derived via UN NACE↔ISIC correspondence table

Some older records carry 5-digit legacy CAEM-1.1 codes (pre-2005 classification). These are returned under the CAEM-1.1 key with no NACE or ISIC equivalent.

CAEM-2 (4-digit) → NACE Rev. 2 → ISIC Rev. 4
CAEM-1.1 (5-digit) → no mapping (legacy)
