Business Verification / API
Added International Business Verification
Middesk verifies businesses registered outside the United States and returns their registrations in the same format used for US Secretary of State data. Add an international_business_verification order when you create a business, optionally supply known registration numbers in the registrations array, and use POST /v1/businesses/{id}/registrations to add a registration to an existing business. Available to accounts with International Business Verification enabled. View the international verification guide.
Changed the registration object for international registrations
The registration object now includes country_code, jurisdiction_details, and submitted. For international registrations, jurisdiction can return HOME, EXTRA_PROVINCIAL, UNKNOWN, or null in addition to DOMESTIC and FOREIGN; state, source, entity_type, registered_agent, and registration_date can also be null. Confirm your integration tolerates null values on these fields. US registrations are unchanged. View the Registration object reference.
Credit Risk / API
Clarified the collateral contract for lien filing
Lien filing requests take collateral as a string describing the assets that secure the lien. collateral_type is a categorization Middesk returns on the lien object, not a request input. The lien filing and lien search guides now show the string form and list the collateral_type values returned in responses. View the lien filing guide.
