unsupported_register
No register is held for that identifier type or country
The identifier type is recognised but this server holds no register that could answer it.
- appears in
- reason
- credits
- Free. An identifier no register could answer for never costs a credit.
What it means
Company numbers are only unique inside their own register, so a country is required and only the registers installed here can answer. GB is the country covered today.
This is a limit of the data on this server, never a statement about the company.
What to do
Use a LEI if the entity has one: those are global and need no country.
