entities.recordsforagents.com Business/Person Name Fuzzy Verification

Use this endpoint when you need fuzzy name-matching against official Secretary of State business registry data for Florida or Colorado — especially when the exact spelling of a business name is uncertain. Prefer this over exact registry-number lookup when you only have a name, not a registration number. Prefer this over full-text search when you want scored, ranked name-match candidates rather than broad keyword results. Ideal for KYC, vendor due diligence, contract validation, or compliance workflows where confirming legal registration status matters.

• Name not found in registry — returns empty candidates list
• Invalid jurisdiction value (only 'fl' or 'co' accepted) — returns 400 error
• Missing required 'name' query parameter — returns 400 validation error
• min_score threshold too high — filters out all candidates, returning empty list
• Payment not processed or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
• Registry data temporarily unavailable — returns 503 or timeout
