Companies can be registered with greenID via Web Services in a similar manner to individuals.

Overview

The registerCompany web service

If you register with a clientType set to anything other than "SMSF" (or alternately don't send down a clientType) then the organisation is treated as a company and two "non-consent" checks are performed.  The entity is checked against the ASIC and ABR sources.  If no match is found via these non-consent sources, then a POST to the start page can be performed to allow the details to be tweaked to achieve a match via the user-centric versions of the ASIC and ABR sources.

Security Options

Unlike the individual registration Web Service methods, the company registration Web Service methods only use Password authentication.

Methods

There are two methods that can be used to register a company with greenID:

1. registerCompany
2. registerCompanySimpleAddress

One of these methods must be called as the first step when verification of a company is required. This method establishes a registration with GreenID that can be used as the basis of further checks.
