Available in Icelandic and English. ## Status This site is newly launched and its register connection is not live yet. Working today: account sign-up. Accounts exist: anyone can sign up, and the dashboard under /app requires being signed in. Not working yet: everything that reads the Iceland Register of Enterprises. Company search, company profiles, the directory, the rankings, the people index and the activity pages are all built and rendering their empty states, because no register data has been loaded. They are not broken and they are not placeholders — they are correct pages over an empty dataset. The VAT check is a special case: Iceland is not an EU member state, so the European Commission's VIES service does not carry its VAT numbers and the check reports that rather than calling a service that cannot answer. There is no billing and no paid plan; the pricing page describes planned tiers. ## What users can do today - Check whether a Icelandic company is registered for VAT, by VAT number. Not available for Iceland: VIES covers EU member states only. - Validate an IBAN's checksum (ISO 13616 mod-97) in the dashboard, computed in the browser. - Create an account and sign in. - Read guides about checking Icelandic companies and about the Icelandic company identifiers. ## What the pages will do once the register is connected - Search Icelandic companies by name or kennitala and browse matching legal entities. - Open a published company profile with registration data and financial history — revenue, profit, assets, equity and liabilities — for every financial year the company has filed a report for. - Browse the directory of published profiles and the rankings built from them. ## Public pages Every page exists in Icelandic and English, each at a URL in its own language.

What each one says, how the kennitala check digit works, and why a company's day of month is forty higher than you expect. ## Public API JSON over HTTPS. No API key and no authentication on the endpoints below. Responses are edge-cached. Every response is an object with a boolean `ok` field; on failure `ok` is false and `error` carries a short machine-readable code such as `not_found`, `invalid_registry_code`, `invalid_vat_number`, `query_too_short`, `register_not_connected` or `upstream_unavailable`. - `GET https://overit.is/api/vat/{vat-number}` VAT validation against VIES. Accepts 5 or 6 digits, with an optional `IS` prefix. Returns `vat` ({checked, valid, vatNumber}). `checked: false` means VIES did not answer — which is not the same as the company not being registered. Not available: VIES covers EU member states only, and Iceland is not one. - `GET https://overit.is/api/search?q={name-or-registry-code}` Company search. `q` must be at least 2 characters. Currently answers 501 with `error: "register_not_connected"` until the Business Register feed is in place. - `GET https://overit.is/api/company/{registry-code}` Live company lookup by kennitala (10 digits, written as six, a hyphen and four). Currently answers 501 with `error: "register_not_connected"`. - `GET https://overit.is/api/companies` The published profiles, as a summary list. Currently empty. - `GET https://overit.is/api/companies/{registry-code-or-slug}` One published profile in full, including its financial history and, for every figure, which report it came from. The endpoints under /api/auth/ serve the site's own sign-in forms. They are not for third-party use. Note: robots.txt disallows crawling of /api/ to keep automated crawlers off the upstream registers. The endpoints remain publicly callable for direct, purposeful requests. ## Data sources - fyrirtækjaskrá (Iceland Register of Enterprises), kept by Skatturinn — Iceland Revenue and Customs — at skatturinn.is. Registration data: business name, kennitala, address, legal form, dates, board members and shareholders. Not connected yet. - ársreikningur (annual accounts), filed to the Register of Annual Accounts — ÍSAT2008 activity, undertaking size, filed reports and the figures inside them. Not connected yet. - VIES (European Commission) — validation of EU VAT numbers. Not applicable: Iceland is not an EU member state. The VAT check is proxied straight to VIES and nothing is stored. Published profiles will be different: their financial history is extracted from filed reports and stored, so it can be shown year by year and ranked. Every stored figure records the report it came from, and figures we compute from those (margins, year-on-year change) are labelled as calculated. Nothing is estimated or filled in: a figure a report does not state is absent rather than guessed. Overit Ísland is not the authoritative source; the registers above are. Values can be null when an upstream register has no record. ## Terminology - kennitala — Icelandic company identifier, 10 digits, written as six, a hyphen and four (kennitala), assigned when a company is registered. The primary key for a legal entity: it does not change over the company's life. - VSK-númer — Icelandic VAT identification number (virðisaukaskattsnúmer), 5 or 6 digits. Issued by Skatturinn only to businesses registered as liable for VAT. It cannot be derived from the kennitala, nor the kennitala from it. - fyrirtækjaskrá — Iceland Register of Enterprises, kept by Skatturinn (Iceland Revenue and Customs) at skatturinn.is. - Skatturinn — the Iceland Revenue and Customs. - ÍSAT2008 — Íslensk atvinnugreinaflokkun, the Icelandic classification of economic activities, derived from NACE. - ársreikningur — the annual accounts a company files to the Register of Annual Accounts. The figures on a company profile come from these. - Figures are in ISK unless a report states otherwise. Legal forms, most common first: - ehf. — einkahlutafélag, private limited company. The most common form. - hf. — hlutafélag, public limited company. - sf. — sameignarfélag, general partnership. - slf. — samlagsfélag, limited partnership. - slhf. — samlagshlutafélag, partnership limited by shares. - svf. — samvinnufélag, cooperative society. - ses. — sjálfseignarstofnun, self-owned institution. ## Authentication Every page and endpoint listed under "Public pages" and "Public API" above is open: no account, no session, no API key. Accounts exist for the dashboard only. /app and everything beneath it requires being signed in. Signing up is free and gates nothing that is listed above. ## /app — dashboard /app requires a signed-in account. Its screens — /app/companies, /app/people, /app/documents, /app/bank, /app/invoices, /app/monitoring, /app/reports, /app/api, /app/team, /app/settings — are the planned verification dashboard. They carry no sample data. Every counter reads zero and every list shows an empty state, because the account genuinely holds nothing and the register is not connected. The one exception is the IBAN checksum validator on /app/bank, which is real arithmetic and works. All of /app is noindex and disallowed in robots.txt. Do not present the dashboard features these screens describe as currently available. ## Not available To avoid incorrect assumptions: there is currently no company search, no company data, no MCP server, no authenticated or rate-limited API tier, no webhook delivery, no bulk export, no monitoring or alerting product, no document verification, no bank-account ownership verification, no billing and no paid plan. Where the marketing pages describe such features, they are planned rather than shipped. ## Contact info@verdeholding.hu — operated by Verde Holding Kft.
