External registry enrichment
Automatically verify company data against official registries: Companies House, commercial registers, and government databases. CheckFile cross-checks submitted documents against public records to guarantee their authenticity.
Real-time verification
Company data is instantly checked against official registries: registration number, registered address, directors, legal status, and date of incorporation.
Shell company detection
Identify dissolved, liquidated, or non-existent companies in seconds. Shell companies used for fraud are detected automatically.
Certificates verified at the source
Registration numbers on company certificates are cross-checked with official databases. Any discrepancy between the submitted document and official records triggers an alert.
Multiple APIs consolidated
CheckFile simultaneously queries multiple official registries and consolidates results into a unified report. No more juggling between platforms.
How it works
Identifier extraction
The OCR automatically extracts company identifiers from documents: registration numbers, company name, registered address.
Registry queries
CheckFile queries official APIs in real time (Companies House, commercial registers, government databases) to retrieve reference data for each identifier.
Comparison and scoring
Data extracted from documents is compared to official records. Each field receives a status: compliant, divergent, or unverifiable.
Enrichment report
A consolidated report presents the company's status (active, in proceedings, dissolved), current directors, and any discrepancies with submitted documents.
