The values from this codelist are used to identify the particular list that an organisation 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 organisation numbers and identifiers can be looked up.
The values from this codelist are used to identify the particular list that an organisation identifier was drawn from. The codelist provides a register of known identifier lists, including national company registers, NGO directories and international and multilateral organisation lists - along with guidance and online resources to help locate the identifiers assigned to a specific organisation.

As of 17 July 2017 the Organisation Registration Agency codelist (now organisation identifier list) is maintained centrally by org-id.guide. Open data publishers can now locate organisation identifiers using this website. 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.
As of 17 July 2017 this list is maintained by the org-id.guide project. Data publishers can now search for and locate the relevant list for a particular organisation identifier using the <a href="http://org-id.guide/">org-id.guide website</a>. The full register of identifier sources is also available to download in <a href="http://org-id.guide/download.xml">XML</a>, <a href="http://org-id.guide/download.json">JSON</a> and <a href="http://org-id.guide/download.csv">CSV</a> formats.

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 [email protected]
IATI periodically replicates the codelist of identifier sources from org-id.guide, to assist those accessing IATI documentation. However, it is advised that the most up-to-date source is the <a href="http://org-id.guide/">org-id.guide project</a>.

If org-id.guide does not contain an entry for the kind of organisation you need to identify, you can make a request a new list is included in the register following the <a href="http://docs.org-id.guide/en/latest/contribute/">guidance or by getting in touch with <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
