When you would like to find out more about a company, an TN search will provide important data about the company, and most of all you will have faith that it is a real registered company and they are who they say they are.

Alternatively, you may want to use the TN Look Up to check the current status of your TN record. It may be in need of annual renewal, or you may require it for a particular transaction and need to get a reminder of what your 20 digit TN code is.

Conducting an TN check will reveal the entity TN Status. This will tell you whether the information contained within the record is likely to be valid or needs to be renewed. If the TN code has not been renewed recently, it may contain outdated data.

Issued The TN is currently active, but will need to be renewed annually.

Lapsed The TN has expired and the data has not been renewed.

An TN check up is the process of searching for an TN on the TN finder and using the live data contained within that record to cross match with your internal records, validate the identity of a client or vendor, or check if an TN needs to be renewed. There are many reasons you may want to conduct an TN check up and the TN search tool can be used for most.

If you have conducted an TN Search using the lookup tool and it has produced too many results you can behind filtering the search results. First of all the TN Search will offer a secondary search, whereby you can conduct a more particular sub-search, within a main primary search.

For example if I search for FUND, the TN look-up returns over 6,743 pages of results with 15 Legal Entity Identifiers on each page. To narrow this down you will be prompted to search again, within those results. To search within the search, just enter a relevant term such as UMBRELLA into the secondary search. This should narrow it down, the more keywords you can enter the more precise the TN finder will be.

If you are using the TN search results and are only interested in results from a particular country you can use the country filter to filter, and sort LEIs alphabetically by country/jurisdiction. The TN Lookup uses the ISO country code e.g GB for Great Britian. If you are unsure of the country code you require you can find this online.

If you are having trouble locating a particular entity, or finding out about their TN code, or perhaps cannot find your own TN code please contact us. ​Our team are very experienced in navigating the TN database and will be happy to help you conduct KYC checks free of charge.
