EU VAT Validation
Source: VIES (EU VAT Information Exchange System, European Commission)
Sanctions Check
Source: Dilisense consolidated (OFAC SDN, EU FSF, UN SC, UK Sanctions List, CH SECO, BIS, World Bank, EBRD, ADB + 125 national sanctions/debarment lists; full attribution at https://dilisense.com/en/sources/sanction-sources)
LEI Lookup

The answer returns every step’s result, so your agent can show or check each one.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	What it is
`oib`	string	Yes	Croatian OIB (11 digits), MBS, or company name
`vat_number`	string	No	EU VAT number with country prefix (e.g. ATU14189108). Optional — used for VIES validation when the registry lookup does not return one (e.g. AT, SK); auto-derived from registry data where possible.

How to call it

# Needs an API key. The whole check is charged once, at the listed price.

    },
    "max_price_cents": 150

# No account. The first request answers 402 with the price in USDC;
# an x402 client pays it from your wallet and repeats the request.
curl -i -X POST https://api.strale.io/x402/v2/solutions/kyb-essentials-hr \

Limitations

Public OAuth2 API returns entity profile, addresses, legal form, activity codes, and registered capital, but does not expose board members (uprava) or shareholders. Board composition and beneficial ownership require the paid certified extract (izvadak) from the court registry.
From step: Croatian Company Data
What to do instead: Use the MBS/OIB to order a certified extract from sudreg.pravosudje.hr
Lookup requires an OIB (11 digits) or MBS (numeric court registry number). Company-name search is not supported.
From step: Croatian Company Data
What to do instead: Find the OIB or MBS on an official company document or in the Croatian Court Register.
VIES can be unavailable or throttle requests under unpublished per-member-state limits. Transient faults are retried, and cached results, including older fallback results, can be returned during outages.
From step: EU VAT Validation
What to do instead: Lookups within 48 hours can use cached results; if VIES is unavailable and no cached result exists, retry later.
Results can be cached for 48 hours, and national registry changes can take a further 24 hours to appear in VIES. Check the national tax authority directly for same-day registration or deregistration confirmation.
From step: EU VAT Validation
What to do instead: For real-time same-day verification, contact the national tax authority directly.
Swiss UID validation returns valid or invalid only, without a company name or address. This tool does not perform the separate enrichment lookup, whose public service is limited to 20 requests per minute.
From step: EU VAT Validation
What to do instead: For Swiss company name + address, call the swiss-company-data capability.
GB VAT numbers return a credentials-pending error when the HMRC connection is not configured.
From step: EU VAT Validation
What to do instead: Use vat-format-validate for GB format checks; it does not confirm VAT registration.
Sanctions lists updated daily from OFAC, EU, and UN sources — newly sanctioned entities may take up to 24 hours to appear
From step: Sanctions Check
What to do instead: For same-day compliance, subscribe to OFAC's RSS feed and cross-reference against today's additions
Name matching uses fuzzy logic — common names may produce false positives. Always verify flagged results
From step: Sanctions Check
What to do instead: Filter results by match confidence score and verify flagged entities against the primary sanctions list PDF
Covers entities with LEI registration via GLEIF — only ~2.5 million entities worldwide have LEIs, primarily financial institutions
From step: LEI Lookup
What to do instead: If no LEI is found, search by company name and jurisdiction; consider that smaller entities may not have an LEI
