The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.

  • Official Tennessee business entity register maintained by the Secretary of State Business Services Division. Covers all for-profit corporations, limited liability companies, nonprofit corporations, limited partnerships, and their foreign equivalents registered to do business in Tennessee. Each entity carries a 9-digit Control Number as the primary identifier. The public portal (tncab.tnsos.gov) provides searchable entity profiles with legal name, entity type, status, formation date, registered agent, principal office address, standing information (annual report, registered agent, Department of Revenue), and filing/name history. Topograph reads these profiles in real time directly from the official portal; no bulk data export is published.

  • Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation – Legal Entity Identifier reference data

Request a company by its Control Number as the id, with countryCode set to US-TN. Its format, validation rules and an example value are in the full reference.

The full reference covers how each datapoint is sourced and mapped, the vocabularies the API returns, the documents you can order and exact example responses. It is free with a Topograph account.
