Entity Validation services allows you to verify the identities of individuals and businesses across more than 50 countries. A single API is available to verify and screen individuals and business entities. However, separate API requests are required to validate the identity and perform screening of the individuals and business.

For Identity Verification and Screening requests, the first and last name or the full name and the country inputs are mandatory.

For Business Verification and Screening requests, the name of the business and the country inputs are mandatory.

Note

Clients are recommended to build their side of logic based on only the first two digits of the response codes. This would help keep the client-side logic data source agnostic and support easier adoption of any future data sources that get added to the service to improve coverage or capability.
