Counterparty checks

Who are you
dealing with?

Before you sign, pay or ship, look the other side up. One address shows who the entity is, who owns it, how it decides and whether it is in good standing.

Receipt-style counterparty check for tarka-labs.public.entity.id: look up, read, verify, each ticked, with the result clear to proceed.
On the internet, existence should be a record anyone can check. For any entity on the registry you can read:across 2,935,661 entities and 311 jurisdictions, in one format.
Look an entity up
    Step 1

    Look it up

    Search the Directory by name or open the address the counterparty gave you, like tarka-labs.public.entity.id. The same address appears everywhere the entity does.

    Directory search for tarka returning three results with kind, registrar and standing, exact address match first.
    Step 2

    Read the record

    Name, kind, registrar, formation date, members with roles, the ownership split and the constitution model, on one page. This is what every counterparty sees first.

    Public record page for Tarka Labs with members, ownership split, constitution and good standing.
    Step 3

    Check standing

    Member verification, the signed constitution and filings. Good standing is computed from the record, not declared. The Verify API returns the same answer to your software.

Three ways to run the check.

Every jurisdiction has a company registry. The internet doesn’t. Entity.ID is one, and it answers people and software alike.

01

Directory

Search by name or open an address. Every record is a public page anyone can read, no account needed.

02

Verify API

The same record as JSON. Gate a payment, a signature or an order on standing from your own systems.

03

Universal ID

One address format for companies, funds, associations and agents. One check works across all of them.

Look them up before you sign.

Search the Directory now, or ask for Verify API access to run the check from your own systems.
