​
Overview

We’ve updated Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile responses for China (ISO code CN) with improved data quality and additional identifiers across all products. The headline change is consistent use of the Unified Social Credit Code (USCC) as the primary identifier, alongside a structured otherIdentifiersField array that carries the legacy registration and organisation codes.

​
Key points

  • Search: registrationAuthorityField and registrationNumberField are now returned
  • Lite Profile: codeField now returns the Unified Social Credit Code (consistent with search), plus new registrationDateField, registrationAuthorityField, registrationNumberField, companyNameInEnglishField, address typeField, and a structured otherIdentifiersField array. Empty fields are no longer returned.
  • Enhanced Profile: Same identifier improvements as Lite, plus activity and address typeField, a split currencyField on capital and shareholdings, normalised legalFormField with raw legalFormDeclarationField, and enriched shareHoldersField (address, currency, total share value, and idField for corporate shareholders)
  • Identifiers: A new otherIdentifiersField array carries the legacy 15-digit Business Registration Number (CN_BRN_CD / CN_LEGACY_REG_CD) and the organisation code (CN_ORG_CD) where available

​
Search results

registrationAuthorityField and registrationNumberField are now returned in search results, giving the registering authority and the Unified Social Credit Code directly from the search response. Before:
