Swedish identifiers are now verified against Bolagsverket

peppolconsoleapi

getpeppr now verifies Swedish Peppol identifiers (scheme 0007, organisationsnummer) against Bolagsverket, Sweden's official business registry — the same automated verification we already run for EU VAT numbers through VIES.

What changed

  • Swedish 0007 identifiers added to a production Legal Entity, or to a sub-tenant created via POST /v1/legal-entities, are verified automatically: registry existence, company-name match, and active status.
  • Inactive organisations (deregistered, in liquidation or restructuring) are rejected before they can send on the live network.
  • Name matching understands Swedish legal forms — a declared "Example AB" matches the registered "Example Aktiebolag".
  • Sole traders (enskild firma) are handled with strict data minimisation: since their organisation number is the owner's personal identity number, we never store the registry name and mask the identifier in webhook payloads.

Sandbox testing

Sub-tenant Legal Entities are verified in sandbox too, against Bolagsverket's test environment. Note that the test registry only resolves Bolagsverket's official test identifiers — real Swedish organisation numbers will return not_found in sandbox. Use a test organisationsnummer such as 5560021361 when trying the flow.

The data source is Bolagsverket's VärdefullaDatamängder API, part of the EU high-value datasets programme.
