Registry Document Access
Official Records. From the Source.
Accessing official ‘as filed’ registry documents is critical for building trust and transparency in business relationships.
These original records underpin KYB compliance by confirming entity legitimacy, mapping ownership, and validating corporate structures.
They support robust customer due diligence, helping assess risk, jurisdictional exposure, and global linkages.
For supply chain management and onboarding, they enable automated verification, seamless API integration, and clear audit trails that keep your processes fast, compliant, and dependable.
Here’s what these documents can reveal and why they matter:

Verifies a company’s legal formation, jurisdiction, and registration details, giving confidence it exists and is officially recognised.
Memorandum & Articles of Association
