# Validate CAC

To validate a company's CAC *(Corporate Affairs Commission)* registration, make a <mark style="color:yellow;">`POST`</mark> request to this endpoint, passing the company's RC (Registration) number as `cac` in the request body.

<mark style="color:yellow;">`POST`</mark>` ``/api/Operations/v1/KYC/ValidateCAC`

A successful request returns a `verification` object confirming the match status, along with a `result` object containing the company's registered details; `name`, `address`, `status`, `registration date`, and its listed directors.

This process allows you to confirm a business is genuinely registered with the CAC before onboarding it as a corporate customer.
