KYC API: Changes within our connection to the South Korean register
Posted 2025-06-17
Summary
We are implementing the following changes to our connection with the National Tax Service of Korea (국세청), Financial Services Commission (South Korea) (금융위원회), and The Korea Fair Trade Commission (공정거래위원회) on KYC API as of today, June 17, 2025.
- The legalForm field in the KYC API now includes the addition of the legal form 유한책임회사, which refers to a Limited Liability Company (LLC).
- The address field path in the search is updated. It is now sourced from “enpBsadr” on the provider side. The first field applies to KYC API v1, whereas the second field is relevant to KYC API v2:
- address / content.address
- We are enhancing the dataset by incorporating the following fields into the updated dataset on KYC API v2.
- additionalData.subsidiaries.name
- additionalData.subsidiaries.address
- additionalData.subsidiaries.activity
