Each status used in Estonia, 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 Estonia, 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 Estonia: company records only (no officers, no registry-compliance signal); sole traders (FIE) are never served. Contains data from the Estonian e-Business Register (RIK), CC BY 4.0.
| Register status | local_status | status in the API | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registrisse kantud (R): entered in the register | active | active | active |
| Pankrotis (N): bankruptcy proceedings opened | bankrupt | in_liquidation_insolvent | winding_up |
| Likvideerimisel (L): in liquidation | in_liquidation | in_liquidation | winding_up |
| Kustutatud (K): deleted from the register | dissolved | 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.in_liquidation): The company is being wound up and no longer trades normally. Stop new credit, file any claim, and ask who the liquidator is.deregistered): Removed from the register: the legal person no longer exists (in the US: dissolved, revoked, withdrawn or no longer listed in that state).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.Estonia’s status includes liquidation and bankruptcy (no insolvency notices).

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.
