Frequently asked questions about the Monaco KYB API
What company data can I verify in Monaco?
For a Monaco company, the API returns the company record read live from the Consulter le Répertoire du Commerce et de l’Industrie: 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 Monaco availability.
Does the API return beneficial ownership (UBO) data for Monaco companies?
For Monaco, the Consulter le Répertoire du Commerce et de l’Industrie 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 Monaco companies?
Yes. The default document set for Monaco includes Registry Extract, retrieved by default. List and download them with the documents endpoint (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/documents).
Is there a free sandbox for testing Monaco company verification?
Yes. The Know Your Customer sandbox at https://api.knowyourcustomer.dev is a free, high-fidelity test environment. Request free sandbox access to start testing.
