FAQ

Does an official record guarantee a safe transaction?

No. It establishes information within its own scope. A real company or domain can be impersonated. Confirm the contact and requested action independently.

How should missing information be handled?

Record the query, date and access limitations. Do not equate a missing result with proof of non-existence. Request a relevant document or use another lawful source.

How can the directory be reused?

Download the CSV or JSON. Retain the use, limitation, reference and check date together. Portal access and publication rules may change.
