Latvia Company Data – Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile Updates

Overview

In Kyckr’s migration from the EBR (European Business Registry Network), we’ve updated Search, Lite Profile, and Enhanced Profile responses for Latvia (ISO code LV). Enhanced Profiles remain available and have been improved with better data quality and additional fields.

Search results

We’ve improved the structure and data quality of Search responses for Latvia companies.

Response structure changes

The search response structure has been updated for better consistency and additional company information. Before:
