Third-party aggregator sources
A commercial provider restates records it obtained from the official system. We have not checked them against the official source, and the report labels them as aggregator data, never as an official registry.

Global lists and web footprint only
For every other country or region there is no registry source yet. A report still contains the following, which also apply to the countries above:
- Global sanctions and watch lists, with any entries returned for the name
- Domain and technical footprint: domain registration, DNS, TLS certificates and web-archive history
- Public web mentions, each quoted with its link and retrieval time
What the status means
- Available
- Switched on, with no failure signal in the last 24 hours. It does not mean every query returns a record.
- Temporarily unavailable
- Switched off, marked down by our operations team, or failing in the last 24 hours. Reports for this country will show the source as unavailable.
- Status unknown
- Live status could not be read, so whether the source is working right now is not known.
Status is based on our collector switches, operations marks, and the query gateway's failure counts for the last 24 hours. Some sources have no failure counter; for those, only switches and operations marks apply. Fields listed are those shown as structured rows; a source may return more, which then appears only in the report's raw-data appendix.
