Legal Notice Extractor: France, Italy, Spain & UK

The company behind a French, Italian, Spanish or British website, read from its legal notice and checked by control digit:

• France: SIREN and SIRET, VAT ID, RCS city, share capital, legal form, registered office, directeur de la publication and host (mentions légales);
• Italy: Partita IVA, tax code, REA, Registro delle Imprese, share capital and certified email (PEC), often from the homepage footer;
• Spain: CIF, Registro Mercantil with tomo, folio and hoja, and registered address (aviso legal);
• UK: Companies House number, VAT number and registered office.

Every number is checked with its control digit (Luhn for SIREN and SIRET, the French VAT key, the Partita IVA check digit, the CIF control, the UK VAT modulus 97), so a German tax number labelled "Partita IVA" or an FCA firm number next to the word "registration" is not taken.

Who uses it

• KYB, onboarding and fraud checks: match a merchant's website to its official company ID, then look it up in the national register.
• B2B lead enrichment: add the legal name, company ID and VAT ID to a list of domains before invoicing or CRM import.
• Compliance and marketplaces: check that a seller's site shows the legal data the law requires.

Good to know

• Where the data is read: the legal notice linked from the homepage (mentions légales, note legali, aviso legal, legal notice, imprint), else the usual path of the site's country, else the homepage footer.
• One company per row: when a page names several, the row has the one named most often (the operator), and the others go to otherCompanies.
• Pages built with JavaScript show no text to a simple reader: those rows say no_data and are free.
• Respectful by design: robots.txt is followed for this robot (eu-legal-notice), and a site that answers 403 is reported, never worked around.
• Germany, Austria and Switzerland: use German Impressum Scraper (german-impressum), with the commercial register and managing directors.

The legal notices that French (LCEN art. 6), Italian (DPR 633/1972 art. 35), Spanish (LSSI art. 10) and British (Companies Regulations 2008, reg. 25) law requires websites to publish. The Actor reads only these public pages; it does not query any register.
