## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a Japanese supplier or vendor's qualified invoice issuer (適格請求書発行事業者) status for consumption tax compliance purposes, especially before processing invoices or onboarding new vendors in Japan. Prefer this over scraping the NTA website directly.

## Known failure modes

- Registration number not found — returns empty or 404-equivalent result
- Invalid T-number format — returns validation error
- NTA registry temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout or 503
- Non-Japanese registration number format supplied — bad request error

## How this service works

Stop scraping Japanese government and public-data sites. Call clean Japan payroll, company, and grant APIs over one host. Preview free; one public marketplace listing covers all current products; x402 direct is available for agent-native buyers.

## Output

Returns structured JSON with the company's invoice issuer registration status, registered business name, address, registration date, and whether the registration is currently active or cancelled, sourced from Japan's NTA qualified invoice issuer registry.
