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	`1027700035769`	Primary state registration number
Sole traders	OGRNIP	15 digits	`316470400103501`	Primary registration number for individual entrepreneurs
All entities	INN	10 or 12 digits	`7708004767`	Tax identification number (10 for legal entities, 12 for individuals)

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	`1027700035769`	Present for all legal entities
`OGRNIP`	15 digits	`316470400103501`	Present for sole traders (ИП)
`INN`	10 or 12 digits	`7708004767`	Present for all entities
`KPP`	9 digits	`770801001`	Tax registration reason code; not all entities have one

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By OGRN	13 digits	`1027700035769`	Exact	Single company (1 result)
By OGRNIP	15 digits	`316470400103501`	Exact	Single sole trader (1 result)
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.

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 extracted deterministically from the register extract.

Local Status	English Translation	Standardized Status	Notes
Действующее	Active	Active	Company is currently registered and operating
Ликвидировано	Liquidated	Closed	Company has been dissolved
В процессе ликвидации	In liquidation	Under Insolvency Proceeding	Liquidation proceedings in progress
Реорганизовано	Reorganised	Closed	Company has been merged, split, or converted
Прекращена деятельность	Activity ceased	Closed	Sole trader registration terminated

Legal Forms

Russia uses the ОКОПФ classifier (OK 028-2012) with over 80 legal form codes. Legal form is detected deterministically from the company name prefix (e.g. “ПАО”, “ООО”) and mapped to standardized categories and ISO 20275 codes.

Legal form mapping is deterministic based on the ОКОПФ code and name prefix patterns. AI enrichment is used only for uncommon or ambiguous forms.

Legal Representatives

Legal representatives are extracted from the register extract. The register records one authorised representative per entity (typically the director or head), identified as the person who can act on behalf of the company.

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 representative. 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), which is aligned with EU NACE Rev.2 at the two-digit level.

Classification	Source	Example	Notes
ОКВЭД	EGRUL/EGRIP extract	`46.90`	Official Russian activity code
NACE	Derived from ОКВЭД (first 4 digits identical)	`46.90`	Deterministic mapping
ISIC	Derived from NACE	`4690`	UN formal correspondence table
