Foreign owners and legal entities

How Arcili shows foreign owners and legal entities in ownership data, and what you can — and can’t — look up about them.

Updated 6 June 2026

Not all owners are Danish individuals or companies. When a property or company is owned by a foreign entity, Arcili shows it, but the depth of lookups depends on what the public registries contain.

1How foreign entities are shown

In ownership data, an owner is marked as a foreign legal entity where the registry indicates it. You see the name and the role the entity has in the ownership — e.g. owner or co-owner with a share.

2What you can look up

  • Name and role in the ownership of the Danish property/company.
  • Share, where it’s registered.
  • Relations to Danish entities, where they exist in the registry.

3Limitations

Note

Danish registries don’t contain full base data and accounts for foreign entities the way they do for Danish registered companies. You can see the entity’s role in the Danish context, but not necessarily deep information from its home country.

For deeper background checks on a foreign entity, you’ll typically need to supplement with sources in that country.
