Lite Profile
Basic company verification details

Search
The first step is to search the registry to find the entity.
The search response will confirm whether the entity is active and provide a unique identifier for that company in codeField
. This identifier is used in the Lite Profile API request.
Some search responses will also contain a Registration Authority Code registrationAuthorityField
, which if present, is required for the subsequent Lite Profile API request.
