Experian Corporate Registrations

Use this service to retrieve Experian corporate-registration records for a business, including filing jurisdiction, entity type, filing dates, standing, and registered-agent information when available.

Requirements

Application field	Requirement	Notes
Business country	Required	Provide the business country code. This service supports United States business information.
Business legal name	Conditional	Required when the application does not already have a Business Identification Number (BIN).
Business city	Conditional	Required when the application does not already have a BIN.
Business state	Conditional	Required when the application does not already have a BIN. Use the two-letter state code.
Business street, ZIP code, telephone, and EIN	Optional	These fields can improve Business Match results when Lendflow must obtain a BIN.
Business Identification Number (BIN)	Conditional	Required to run Corporate Registrations. If it is unavailable, Lendflow runs Experian Business Match and uses the result with the highest numeric reliability code. The service does not run if Business Match returns no result.

API flow

This service is available through Workflow Builder and the dashboard. It is not a Data Orchestration attribute, so a Data Orchestration template cannot run it. The dashboard starts a manual run with PUT /api/int/applications/{application_id}/enrich and provider experian_corporate_registrations. This is an internal dashboard route, not a supported public integration endpoint. To retrieve a completed result through the public API:

Call GET /api/applications/{application_id}/commercial_data through Get Commercial Data.
Pass services[]=experian_corporate_registrations.
Read the provider result from data.commercial_data.experian.corporate_registrations.
Use data.statuses.experian.corporate_registrations for the latest status, data.dates.experian_corporate_registrations for the latest date, and data.request_data.experian.corporate_registrations for the stored request.

The dashboard uses these corresponding paths:

Value	Dashboard data path
Response	`commercialData.experian.corporate_registrations`
Status	`commercialData.statuses.experian.corporate_registrations`
Submitted request	`commercialData.request_data.experian.corporate_registrations`

The outbound Experian request contains bin, subcode, and statusDescriptionDetail: true.

FAQ

Does this service require an Experian BIN?

Yes. Lendflow automatically runs Experian Business Match when the business does not already have one.

Can I run Corporate Registrations in Data Orchestration?

No. The Workflow Builder block exists, but the current Data Orchestration inventory does not include this service.

Is an EIN required for Business Match?

No. Legal name, city, and state are required. EIN, street, ZIP, and telephone are optional.

Why are some registration fields null or missing?

Filing authorities do not supply every field for every jurisdiction. Lendflow preserves provider nulls and omitted optional fields.
