Hong Kong Company Data – Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile

Overview

We’ve updated Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile responses for Hong Kong (ISO code HK) with improved data quality and additional fields across all products. Key changes include a dedicated registrationNumberField, a structured otherIdentifiersField array carrying the Companies Registry number, English-language director names with nationality, normalised legal form, and previous names.

Key points

Search: New registrationNumberField and a structured otherIdentifiersField array
Lite Profile: New registrationDateField, registrationNumberField, and otherIdentifiersField. Null fields are no longer returned.
Enhanced Profile: New legalFormField (normalised) with raw legalFormDeclarationField, normalizedLegalStatusField, registrationDateField, otherIdentifiersField, address typeField, and previousNamesField. Director records now include a partial directorNumberField, English nameField, and nationalityField. Shareholder data quality is improved.
