Step-by-step
- 1
Enter the legal name
Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.
- 2
Narrow ambiguous matches
Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (ApS (Anpartsselskab), A/S (Aktieselskab), I/S (Interessentskab)) to identify the right one.
- 3
Open the candidate record
Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.
