Frequently asked questions about the Aruba KYB API
What company data can I verify in Aruba?
For a company in Aruba, the API returns the company record read live from the Chamber of Commerce: the entity name, type, status, registration number, address, and registration date, along with the controlling parties, and the available registry documents. See the table above for the full Aruba availability.
Does the API return beneficial ownership (UBO) data for Aruba companies?
For Aruba, the Chamber of Commerce does not publish shareholder or beneficial-owner data, so the API returns the company record and the controlling parties and officers rather than a shareholder or beneficial-owner list. Where you need ownership for an entity in a jurisdiction that does publish it, the recursive org-chart (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/org-chart) resolves it. See the UBO API.
Can I retrieve official registry documents for Aruba companies?
Yes. The default document set for Aruba includes Registry Extract, retrieved by default, with additional documents available on demand (Photo-static copy of deed, Authenticated Copy of deed, Trade Registry Forms Duplicate, Modification deed of incorporation, Historical Extract of a corporation (EN/Dutch), Declaration of good standing (EN/Dutch), and more). List and download them with the documents endpoint (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/documents).
Is there a free sandbox for testing Aruba company verification?
Yes. The Know Your Customer sandbox at https://api.knowyourcustomer.dev is a free, full-fidelity test environment. Request free sandbox access to start testing.
Is this a KYB or a KYC API?
Both. It is a business verification (KYB) API for corporate KYC: you verify companies from official Aruba registry data, resolve the controlling parties, and screen for AML. When you need to check the people behind a company, the same company data API covers identity verification (IDV). One integration, one Aruba company data and registry API.
