Organisation Registration Agency¶
Organization identifier lists (formerly Organization Registration Agency). The values from this codelist are used to identify the particular list that an organization identifier was drawn from. The codelist provides a list of known identifier lists, including national company registers, NGO lists and international and multilateral lists - along with links to sources where specific organization numbers and identifiers can be looked up.
As of 17th of July 2017 the Organisation Registration Agency codelist (now organisation identifier list) is maintained centrally by org-id.guide. org-id.guide provides a register of organisation identifier lists that allows open data publishers to locate organisation identifiers. IATI replicates the list directly from org-id.guide with the exception of the XI-IATI codelist. IATI still maintains the XI-IATI organisation identifier list, which is used when there are no other available lists that might be used to provide a stable organisation identifier.
If an organisation identifier list that you wish to use cannot be found in org-id.guide, you can submit a direct request on Github (https://github.com/org-id/register/issues) or email contact@org-id.guide
This is a Non-Embedded codelist.
