Identification & Registration¶
Summary¶
Identification and Registration encompasses the fundamental information required to uniquely identify and legally register a legal entity. This includes the legal form of the entity, business registration details, commercial register entries, and entity classification. This information forms the foundation for all other legal entity management activities and is essential for regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and entity verification.
The Challenge¶
Organizations face significant challenges in managing entity identification and registration:
- Multiple jurisdictions — Entities may be registered in multiple jurisdictions with different requirements
- Registration complexity — Different types of registrations (incorporation, business license, tax registration) across jurisdictions
- Data fragmentation — Registration information scattered across multiple systems and jurisdictions
- Regulatory requirements — Different jurisdictions have different registration and disclosure requirements
- Data quality — Maintaining accurate and up-to-date registration information across systems
- Temporal tracking — Tracking registration status and changes over time
- Classification systems — Managing entity classifications across multiple taxonomies and standards
