Each status used in Denmark, in English, with the standard status the Prometiam API returns and what it means for doing business with the company.
Every register words its company states differently. This guide lists the status values used in Denmark, what each means in English, and the standard status the Prometiam API returns for it, so the same question (is this company still alive, in trouble or gone?) has the same answer across countries. The register’s own value stays available as local_status.
Coverage and limits for Denmark: company records only (no officers, no registry-compliance signal, no share capital); sole proprietorships and estates are never served. Contains CVR data (Erhvervsstyrelsen), CC BY 4.0.
| Register status | local_status | status in the API | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aktiv: active, with no open bankruptcy notice | active | active | active |
| Konkurs: an open bankruptcy notice in the CVR credit information | bankrupt | in_liquidation_insolvent | winding_up |
| Inaktiv or ophørt: the company’s life course has ended | ceased | deregistered | closed |
active): The register shows no dissolution, insolvency or removal. That is the normal state, but not a guarantee of solvency or good standing: check filings and payment behaviour as your policy requires.in_liquidation_insolvent): Bankruptcy or judicial liquidation: the company is being wound up to pay its creditors. File your claim with the liquidator or trustee, do not ship on credit, and expect contracts to be ended or handled by the liquidator.deregistered): Removed from the register: the legal person no longer exists (in the US: dissolved, revoked, withdrawn or no longer listed in that state). It cannot sign, be sued or be paid, so invoice a successor or the former owners and check whether it merged. Some registers can restore or reinstate an entity, so check before you treat it as final.Denmark’s status includes the register’s bankruptcy state, taken from CVR credit information while the company is still active in the register.

status is the same list in every country; local_status is the register’s own value. Use one or the other, not both. Outside Spain a status filter must be combined with a name or an identifier.
