Disclosing this up front – I’m at Veridion.
We built this because one of our leads mentioned that they pay a registry data provider six figures a year. For legal names, identifiers and registered addresses. We already had that data. Not as a side project, it’s the foundation layer under our enterprise product, and the pipelines were already running. So opening it up cost us close to nothing, which is sort of the point: the collection isn’t what makes it expensive elsewhere.
registry-lookup.com – 521M legal entities, 309 jurisdictions, 244 countries. Search on the site is free with no account. There’s an API at 5,000 calls a month if you want it programmatically, that one needs a work email.
What you get per entity: legal name, registry number, jurisdiction code, status, incorporation date, legal form, registered address, and identifiers like tax IDs, VAT where the registry publishes them.
So it’s an enumeration and triage tool. It answers “does this entity exist, what’s its number, is it active, where is it registered.”
Which jurisdictions do you currently have no good way to check?
