UAE ADGM company register API
Query the ADGM public register by entity name or registration number and get identity and status as JSON. ADGM is a separate jurisdiction from mainland UAE and from DIFC, so confirm which register your counterparty actually sits in before wiring up the lookup.
1 register covered: ADGM
ADGM Public Register
Abu Dhabi Global Market is a financial free zone with its own legal system and its own companies register, separate from mainland UAE registration. Entities incorporated in ADGM are published in the ADGM public register.
For KYC on a UAE counterparty, knowing which register an entity sits in matters as much as the lookup itself - ADGM, DIFC and mainland emirate registers are distinct, and an entity in one will not appear in another.
We read the ADGM public register and return company identity and status as structured records.
Is ADGM the same as mainland UAE company registration?
No. ADGM is a financial free zone with its own companies register and legal framework. An ADGM entity is not listed in a mainland emirate register, and vice versa.
Is the ADGM register public?
Yes. ADGM publishes a public register of the entities it has incorporated, including their status. It is designed for interactive search rather than programmatic access.
What about DIFC?
DIFC is a separate free zone in Dubai with its own register. It is not covered by an ADGM lookup - if you are unsure which zone a counterparty sits in, check the entity legal name suffix and its stated address.
