What is SIRET (France)?
A 14-digit identifier for a particular French establishment. Its first nine digits are the company’s SIREN and its final five digits identify the individual location, so one company can have several SIRETs.

SIREN (France)
A 9-digit identifier INSEE assigns to a French legal entity. It identifies the company itself and remains the core identifier used across French company and tax records. A SIREN is different from a SIRET, which identifies a specific establishment of that company.
Company Registration Number
The permanent identifier a national business register assigns to a legal entity when it is incorporated — a Companies House number in the UK, an SIREN in France, a CVR in Denmark, an organisasjonsnummer in Norway. It never changes when the company is renamed, which makes it the safest key for storing, matching or monitoring a company record.
