Why TrustRegistry

Why teams choose TrustRegistry

Compliance, risk, and engineering teams use TrustRegistry to remove fragile registry lookups from their critical path.

Eliminate manual registry lookups

Stop paying analysts to copy-paste from state portals. One API replaces the workflow.

Reduce onboarding fraud

Detect shell companies, dissolved entities, and fabricated business names before they reach your platform.

Accelerate KYB workflows

Cut verification from days to seconds. Auto-approve clean signals, route only edge cases to review.

Replace fragile state integrations

We absorb registry chaos — outages, rate limits, schema changes — so your team never has to.

Audit-friendly responses

Source URLs back to the originating registry on every verified record.

Built to scale with you

From your first 100 verifications to millions, on the same endpoint and the same schema.

Comparison

Why teams stop relying on state portals

State registries were built for humans, not production systems.

State portals

The status quo

  • Inconsistent schemas across states
  • Flaky uptime, frequent outages
  • Aggressive rate limits
  • Manual lookup workflows
  • Scraping legal and reliability risk
  • No audit layer or citations
  • Different workflows per state
TrustRegistry

One API, built for production

  • One normalized API across states
  • Source-linked responses
  • Structured JSON, flat schema
  • Developer-first integration
  • Audit-friendly verification logs
  • Reliability-focused infrastructure
  • Expanding multi-state coverage
How it works

Three steps to verified data

01

Send a query

POST a business name and state. We accept fuzzy names and registration numbers.

02

We hit our registry mirror

Our pipelines ingest, normalize, and re-sync official state data. You query our owned infrastructure — never a flaky state portal.

03

Get structured data

A flat JSON response with entity status, formation date, registration ID, source URL, and a confidence score.

API Example

Predictable. Boring. Defensible.

One endpoint. A clear request shape. A flat, normalized response with a citation back to the originating registry. No SOAP, no XML, no portal screen-scraping — just JSON your compliance team can stand behind.
