Notes

  • The sijilat.bh portal requires no account or API key — authentication uses a public HMAC token embedded in the site's JavaScript
  • Address, capital, and shareholder data are only populated when fetchDetails: true
  • The companyStatus filter maps to Bahrain's internal status codes; unknown status values are treated as no filter
  • Each CR number can have multiple branch records (branch 1 = head office)
  • The registry contains 180,000+ commercial registrations across Bahrain
