5 Public-Record Checks for KYB Entity Verification

说明与用途

自动化公共记录检查（SOS、SEC EDGAR、IRS 990、USASpending、FDIC BankFind）生成结构化证据包，用于验证美国企业实体的存在和状态。

问题

Verifying that a business entity actually exists and is in good standing requires more than a Google search; public records must be queried to provide concrete KYB signals.

结果

Automated queries across five public record sources produce a structured KYB evidence bundle that separates source data and flags inconsistencies, reducing manual effort and improving verification reliability.

工作流

• 1. Query Secretary of State filings via US Business Entity Search actor to confirm existence, status, formation date, agents, and officers.
• 2. If the entity claims public trading, query SEC EDGAR Company Filings actor for CIK, legal name, and recent filings.
• 3. If the entity claims nonprofit status, query IRS 990 Nonprofit Search actor for filing year, officers, revenue, and program details.
• 4. If the entity claims federal contracts or grants, query USASpending Federal Spending Search actor for award amounts, agencies, and descriptions.
• 5. If the entity claims bank status, query FDIC BankFind Search actor for certificate number, active status, assets, deposits, and branch locations.
• 6. Assemble a KYB evidence bundle with separate source fields and flags for name mismatches, dissolved/suspended status, and missing claims.
• 7. Use the bundle for review or further automation.
• 8. Scale by running the US Business Entity Search actor first, then conditionally invoking the other actors based on claim type.
