France — RNE / Sirene Lookup

Live, direct-to-government access to Recherche d'entreprises (INSEE Sirene + Registre National des Entreprises (RNE) + Répertoire National des Associations (RNA)).

Single-country variant of the cross-border Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker. Use this skill when the user is explicitly focused on France.

What you get

• Direct query to RNE / Sirene. Every tool call hits Recherche d'entreprises (INSEE Sirene + Registre National des Entreprises (RNE) + Répertoire National des Associations (RNA)) at the moment you ask. No nightly scrape, no aggregator middle layer.
• Unmodified responses. Field names, status codes, and (where available) raw filing bytes are returned exactly as the registry's own system emits them.
• Native ID format support. 9-digit SIREN (e.g. 552120222 for L'Oréal SA) — extends to 14-digit SIRET for establishments.
• Sample entity: L'Oréal SA.

Available tools (jurisdiction = FR)

Quirks specific to France

• SIREN (9-digit) identifies the legal entity; SIRET (14-digit) adds 5-digit establishment NIC suffix.
• RNE (since 2023) consolidates the older RCS/RM/RAA registers — single source of truth for corporate filings.
• Officers (dirigeants) are surfaced via INSEE; not all SIRENs have them (associations, sole-trader auto-entrepreneurs).
• Financial statements are filed at INPI but typically not surfaced via this open-data API; the BODACC (Bulletin Officiel des Annonces Civiles et Commerciales) is the publication channel.
