Data Sources

EGRUL/EGRIP (Единый государственный реестр юридических лиц / Единый государственный реестр индивидуальных предпринимателей). The Federal Tax Service (FNS) unified state registers for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. EGRUL covers companies and organisations; EGRIP covers sole traders. Both are the authoritative primary source for Russian entity data, including legal name, address, identifiers, legal form, status, authorised representatives, shareholders, and branches.

Russia’s company data is extracted from the official EGRUL/EGRIP register extract, which is the authoritative document issued by the Federal Tax Service (FNS). Company profile, legal representatives, shareholders, and establishments are all sourced from this document. Processing is asynchronous: typical wait time is under 2 minutes.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Company Type	Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
Legal entities	OGRN	13 digits, starting with 1 or 5; the last digit is a check digit	`1027700035769`	Primary state registration number
Sole traders	OGRNIP	15 digits, starting with 3; the last digit is a check digit	`318028000064743`	Primary registration number for individual entrepreneurs
All entities	INN	10 or 12 digits, leading zeros significant	`7708004767`	Tax identification number (10 for legal entities, 12 for individuals). Search returns the entity under its OGRN or OGRNIP

Which identifier to use: OGRN and OGRNIP are unique per entity and are the most reliable query identifiers. INN can also be used for search, but note that legal entities have 10-digit INNs while individuals have 12-digit INNs.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Notes
`ogrn`	13 digits, starting with 1 or 5	`1027700035769`	Present for all legal entities
`ogrnip`	15 digits, starting with 3	`318028000064743`	Present for sole traders (ИП)
`inn`	10 or 12 digits	`7708004767`	Present for all entities
`kpp`	9 characters, usually all digits; the 5th and 6th may be uppercase Latin letters	`770801001`	Tax registration reason code; not all entities have one

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

GLEIF is the supplementary data source for this identifier. company.identifiers.lei is optional. It is returned when the legal-entity registration number (ogrn) 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	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By OGRN	13 digits	`1027700035769`	Exact	Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow
By OGRNIP	15 digits	`318028000064743`	Exact	Exact match returned first (matchType: id); other results may follow
By INN	10 or 12 digits	`7708004767`	Exact	One or more results
By Name	Text string, 2-200 chars, Cyrillic or Latin	`"Лукойл"`	Fuzzy	Multiple results

Name search: Queries containing only digits matching an OGRN, OGRNIP, or INN pattern are treated as identifier searches and bypass the name search flow. This avoids false matches for numeric strings.

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.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Shareholders only for ООО	Shareholder data (founders with share percentages and nominal values) is only available for ООО (limited liability companies). ПАО, АО, and ОАО (joint-stock companies) list only their share registrar in the register extract. Sole traders (ИП) have no shareholder concept.
No personal addresses	Russian law (Federal Law No. 152-FZ on Personal Data) prohibits personal residential addresses from appearing in public register extracts. Person data is limited to name, INN, role, gender, and citizenship.
Sanctioned entity data restrictions	Since 2022, some entities subject to international sanctions have restricted founder data in the register (marked ОгрДосСв). Shareholder and beneficial ownership data may be absent for these entities.
Role titles are free text	There is no closed list of authorised representative role titles. Companies define their own titles in their charter. Common titles (“Генеральный директор”, “Директор”) are mapped deterministically; uncommon titles are AI-enriched.
Cyrillic data	All data from EGRUL/EGRIP is in Russian (Cyrillic). Legal names, addresses, role titles, and activity descriptions are preserved verbatim.
Processing time	Company data is extracted asynchronously from the official register extract. Typical processing is under 2 minutes, but large companies with many branches may take longer.
INN search may return multiple results	Multiple entities can share the same INN in edge cases (e.g. reorganisations). Use OGRN for unambiguous lookups.

Mappings

Company Status

Status is derived deterministically from whether the register records a termination date for the entity.

Local Status	English Translation	Standardized Status	Notes
Действующее	Active	Active	Entity is currently registered
Прекращено	Terminated	Closed	Entity has a termination date in the register (liquidation, reorganisation, or end of sole trader activity)

The distinction between liquidated, reorganised and in-liquidation entities is not currently exposed.

Legal Forms

Russia uses the ОКОПФ classifier (OK 028-2012) with over 80 legal form codes. Legal form is detected deterministically from the full legal form written at the start of the company name (e.g. “ПУБЛИЧНОЕ АКЦИОНЕРНОЕ ОБЩЕСТВО”, “ОБЩЕСТВО С ОГРАНИЧЕННОЙ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТЬЮ”) and mapped to standardized categories and ISO 20275 codes.

Производственный кооператив	Production Cooperative	Cooperative	`3EAX`

Legal form mapping is deterministic, based on the legal form at the start of the entity name (or in parentheses at the end of it). When no known form is found, legalForm is omitted.

Legal Representatives

Legal representatives are extracted from the register extract. The register lists the person or persons authorised to act on behalf of the entity without a power of attorney (typically the director or head), so an entity can have more than one. For a sole trader (ИП), the entrepreneur is returned as the single legal representative with the standardized role Owner.

Common Role Titles

Russian Role	English Translation	Standardized Role
Генеральный директор	General Director	Chief Executive Officer
Директор	Director	Director
Президент	President	Chief Executive Officer
Управляющий	Manager	Director
Председатель	Chairman	Chairman of the Board
Председатель правления	Chairman of the Management Board	Chairman of the Board
Ректор	Rector	Director
Управляющий директор	Managing Director	Chief Executive Officer

Notes on Role Extraction

Role titles in the Russian register are free text defined by each company in its charter. The list above covers the most common titles. Uncommon titles are AI-enriched against ISO 5009 standardized role values.The register records only the current authorised representatives. Historical representatives and board members are not available from EGRUL/EGRIP.

Shareholders

Shareholder data is available only for ООО entities and is extracted from the register extract.

Field	Description
Shareholder name	Legal name (for entities) or full name (for individuals)
INN	Tax ID of the shareholder
Nominal share value	Value in Russian roubles from the company’s charter capital
Share percentage	Percentage of charter capital held

For ПАО, АО, and ОАО, the register lists only the share registrar (реестродержатель), not individual shareholders. Full shareholder registers for joint-stock companies are held privately by the registrar.

Activity Code Mapping

Russia uses ОКВЭД (Общероссийский классификатор видов экономической деятельности), whose classes are aligned with EU NACE Rev. 2.

Classification	Source	Example	Notes
ОКВЭД	EGRUL/EGRIP extract	`46.90`	Official Russian activity code, kept in full
NACE	NACE Rev. 2.1 class transitioned from the ОКВЭД (Rev. 2) class	`46.90`	Deterministic mapping. The code can differ from the ОКВЭД code, because some classes were renumbered in Rev. 2.1
ISIC	ISIC Rev. 5 correspondence of the NACE Rev. 2.1 class	`4690`	Deterministic mapping
