The Portal home page serves as the starting point when logging in. From here, users are able to perform a company search, which always serves as the first step in a business verification process.
Search fields:
The user can select a jurisdiction and search by company ID or name to view results.
In order to conduct a search, two pieces of information are required:
Jurisdiction: As our service connects to individual registries live at the point of request, we need to know which registry you would like to search. The user can select a jurisdiction using the drop-down Country selector.
*TIP: Global Search can be selected from the Country dropdown menu. This allows a search for a company when the user does not know which jurisdiction the company is registered in.
For more information on Global Search, click here.
Company Name or Registration Number: The other drop-down allows a user to choose between either company name or registration number.
Company Name: Searching by company name can be useful if a user doesn’t have access to the registration number, or only has a partial name. The name search uses the fuzzy matching capabilities present at each individual registry, which will usually allow the user to narrow down a list of companies.

Registration Number: Searching by registration number will typically return the correct company, as it is a unique company number in most jurisdictions. The exception to this is Germany, Canada and Italy, where registration numbers are not unique. Here you will need to select from a list of possible results.
Past searches: The previous 10 searches made will show on-screen. Clicking on one of these buttons brings the user back to the search result.
Credits remaining:
Remaining credits will be shown at the top of the screen. This is to show a user how many credits they have remaining. For more information on Credits, click here.
