No conventional company report is available for North Korea
North Korea (DPRK) operates one of the most closed economies in the world. It does not maintain a public corporate register accessible for conventional commercial verification, and the formal economy is not structured around the kind of registered limited entities that exist elsewhere.
For these reasons we do not offer a standard company credit report on entities registered in North Korea. We cannot reliably verify the existence, identity, ownership, financial position or trading status of a DPRK-registered entity, and no investigated report on such an entity can meaningfully be produced.
North Korea is also subject to the most extensive international sanctions architecture imposed on any country, including UN Security Council resolutions and US, EU and UK measures. Wider questions of sanctions exposure or transaction permissibility, whether direct or through indirect connections, are matters for the reader's own compliance channels and are not within the scope of a commercial credit and verification report.
What we can do. If you have identified a potential DPRK connection on a counterparty registered in another jurisdiction, we can produce a report on that counterparty in its actual country of registration. The report will cover credit standing, financial position, ownership and identity in the normal way. Search by the country of registration of the entity you are checking.
Find the right country
Most enquiries that begin with a potential North Korean connection are resolved by ordering a report on the counterparty's actual country of registration, frequently China, Russia, or another regional jurisdiction. Use the country directory to identify the correct country and request a report there.
