International Business Verification — One Identity Layer, Many Registries

Government registries prove legal existence in a jurisdiction. AI Verified publishes machine-readable commercial identity for Type A organizations across tracks and countries — complementary, not substitutive.

Two layers that should not be confused

National corporate registries (Companies House, state Divisions of Corporations / Sunbiz-class systems, CIPC, and peers) record legal incorporation and related statutory facts inside a jurisdiction.

AI Verified publishes selective public identity passports for commercial resolvability by search engines and answer engines — Type A eligibility, forensic hashes, structured data, and optional domain attestation.

A company number does not automatically produce AI-ready packaging. An AI Verified passport does not replace a company number where the law requires one.

Why an international identity layer still helps

  • Answer engines resolve businesses across borders with inconsistent local directory quality
  • SMEs outside encyclopaedic notability need a commercial identity node in every market
  • Service-area, ecommerce, and SaaS tracks do not map cleanly to a single shopfront registry row
  • Operators want one badge/passport pattern rather than twenty directory widgets

How AI Verified stays jurisdiction-honest

  • Country and region fields on passports
  • Association to real country/place concepts when validated
  • No claim that Bronze equals “in good standing” at a government registry
  • Gold = domain attestation packaging, not a substitute filing
  • Geo doctrine spokes (US, UK, South Africa, and others) explain local context without merging legal systems

Read local spokes for depth

Country- and regime-specific articles in the AI Verified wiki cover Companies House, CIPC, US state identity patterns, and related topics. This page is the rollup: one identity product, many legal backdrops.

Does AI Verified replace Companies House or CIPC?
No. National registries handle statutory company records. AI Verified publishes selective machine-readable commercial identity passports.

Can businesses outside the US be classified?
Yes, when Type A signals for their track and country context are met. Passports carry country and place fields.

Is Gold a government verification?
No. Gold is domain attestation packaging at $297/year, not a statutory filing.
