Each status used in Norway, 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 Norway, 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.
| Register status | local_status | status in the API | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aktiv: no bankruptcy or winding-up flag | active | active | active |
| Konkurs: bankruptcy | bankrupt | in_liquidation_insolvent | winding_up |
| Under avvikling: winding-up | in_liquidation | in_liquidation | winding_up |
| Under tvangsavvikling or tvangsoppløsning: forced winding-up | in_compulsory_liquidation | in_compulsory_liquidation | winding_up |
| Slettet: 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.in_compulsory_liquidation): The company is wound up by order of a court or the register for non-compliance, not because of insolvency. Treat it as winding up: no new business, and file claims with 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liquidator.deregistered): Removed from the register: the legal person no longer exists (in the US: dissolved, revoked, withdrawn or no longer listed in that state).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.Norway’s statuses come from the flags the Brønnøysund register sets (konkurs, under avvikling, under tvangsavvikling) and from deletion.

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.
