Every KK also carries a 13-digit corporate number. Order the official record for any KK: identity, corporate number, head office and registered details, in minutes.

Japan's commercial register records the company's trade name, head-office address, incorporation, capital, business purposes and its representative director(s). The certificate of registered matters built from it is the standard proof document in Japanese business life — banks, landlords and partners all reason from the same registered facts.
The KK form itself signals formality: statutory organs, share-based capital and, traditionally, higher standing than the newer GK. Many counterparties choose KK precisely for that signal.
The official record for the KK: registered name, 13-digit corporate number, head-office address, status-relevant registration data and published company details, delivered as structured data plus a branded PDF by email in minutes. From €9.99, no account needed.
A 13-digit identifier assigned to every registered company and publicly searchable. It is the stable key for matching a KK across invoices, contracts and the register — more reliable than romanised names, which vary wildly (Kabushiki Kaisha, K.K., Co., Ltd. can all render the same 株式会社).
The representative director (daihyō torishimariyaku) recorded in the commercial register. Only registered representatives bind the company — a critical check before signing anything with a Japanese counterparty.
Because 株式会社 can sit before or after the name and gets translated inconsistently into English. Matching on the corporate number and the registered Japanese name avoids the trap.
