🇮🇹 Italy — Registro delle imprese — Camere di Commercio / InfoCamere S.c.p.A., surfaced via the EU Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS) e-Justice gateway

Access Italy's official company register in real time via the OpenRegistry MCP endpoint. Unified schema, source-linked, live passthrough (no caching).

Quick facts

• Code: IT
• Registry: Registro delle imprese — Camere di Commercio / InfoCamere S.c.p.A., surfaced via the EU Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS) e-Justice gateway
• Data license: EU Directive (EU) 2017/1132 art. 14+22 minimum-mandatory-dataset publication; reproduced verbatim from InfoCamere's Italian RI feed routed through the BRIS central platform. No commercial / paid InfoCamere products are proxied.
• Real-time: yes — every call hits upstream
• Caching notes: In-adapter caches: 10 seconds for cross-call deduplication within a single AI turn; otherwise every call hits upstream fresh. Pass fresh=true to bypass even the 10s cache.
• Global fan-out: excluded by default — pass jurisdiction: "IT" explicitly.

Italy — EU cross-border business-register gateway. Accepts 11-digit fiscal code or free-text company name. Only search + profile (name + legal form + registered office); no status, officers, shareholders, filings, beneficial owners.

Company ID format

11-digit Codice Fiscale (CF) of the legal person, often equal to the Partita IVA. Accepted input: 11 digits, with whitespace / dots / dashes / leading 'IT' VAT prefix / 'ITRI.' EUID prefix all stripped. 1-10 digit numeric input is auto-padded with leading zeros (users copying from spreadsheets / PDFs that strip leading zeros are handled transparently). REA numbers (e.g. 'MI-1234567', 'RM 987654') are explicitly detected and rejected with a conversion hint — the feed only indexes by CF, not by the chamber-local REA docket.

Examples: 00159560366, 00488410010, 00470400011, 00795320150

Known quirks

• id_format info — company_id is the 11-digit fiscal code of the legal person. Country prefixes and whitespace / dots / dashes are stripped; 1-10 digit numeric input is auto-padded with leading zeros. Local REA registration numbers (e.g. 'MI-1234567') are detected and rejected with a conversion hint — the free surface does not index by REA.
• search info — search_companies accepts either a company name (upstream-side prefix/fuzzy match, capped at 200 results) or an 11-digit fiscal code (auto-detected, returns at most one row). Non-11-digit all-numeric input is rejected 400.
• status warning — Upstream does not push the Italian status field — every observed status is null, so unified status is always 'unknown'. Callers needing active / ceased / in-liquidation / bankrupt must buy an extract from a paid source.
• filings blocker — list_filings, get_document_metadata and fetch_document always return 501. No free document surface; financial statements and statutes / deeds / minutes are paid-only. alternative_url points to a paid source.
• officers blocker — get_officers, get_officer_appointments and search_officers always return 501. The free surface carries no officer data and there is no free cross-company officer index for Italy; a paid extract is the documented alternative.
• shareholders blocker — get_shareholders always returns 501. Limited-liability-company shareholders + quote are in the paid extract; joint-stock-company nominative holdings live only on the company-held shareholder book. Shareholders are distinct from beneficial owners — see get_persons_with_significant_control.
• psc blocker — get_persons_with_significant_control always returns 501. The Italian beneficial-ownership register has no free public API and is limited to AML obliged entities and legitimate-interest parties with national-eID authentication.
• charges blocker — get_charges always returns 501. Real-estate mortgages and movable pledges are queryable only via a separate paid portal.
• rate_limit warning — Very wide name searches (common Italian surnames matching thousands of foreign-law entries) hit an upstream block sentinel and surface as HTTP 429 with guidance to narrow the query. Retrying does not help — the caller must refine.
• routing info — global_search_excluded=true: each IT search burns 1 submit + 1-5 async polls at the upstream gateway (1.5-3s wall), so multi-country fan-outs skip IT. Direct jurisdiction='IT' calls still work.

Available jurisdiction_data fields

Every tool response carries a jurisdiction_data object with the raw upstream fields (names unchanged). The full field set per record type:

profile (14 fields)

• companyEuId — Italian EUID 'ITRI.<11-digit-CF>' per Reg. (EU) 2015/884
• companyRegistrationNumber — 11-digit Codice Fiscale of the legal person
• businessRegisterID — 'RI' (Registro delle imprese) for IT entities
• businessRegisterName — 'Registro delle imprese'
• businessRegisterCountry — 'IT'
• companyNames[] — { languageCode, companyName, companyNameType }; main name plus any official aliases registered on the RI
• companyLegalForm — InfoCamere code (e.g. 'LF_IT_001' Società per azioni, 'LF_IT_004' Società a responsabilità limitata, 'LF_IT_008' Soggetto estero / foreign-law entity registered in IT)
• companyLegalFormValue — Italian legal form label (Italian language)

• companyRegisteredOffice — Free-text street address of the sede legale, comma-separated 'STREET, POSTCODE CITY, POSTCODE Italy' format as InfoCamere emits it
• countryName — 'Italy' (langId=7 label)
• branches[] — when the entity is a foreign-company branch registered in IT, lists the parent + branch metadata (rare for Italian-domiciled entities; common for LF_IT_008 foreign-law entries)
• hasCrossBorderDetails — boolean flag indicating whether BRIS holds additional cross-border information (almost always false for IT entities; the cross-border details endpoint is paid through InfoCamere and not proxied here)
• Fields BRIS does NOT push for IT (always null in responses): status (active/dissolved/in-liquidation), documents (filings), particulars, naturalPersons / legalPersons (officers / shareholders), chargeableInformation.
