## Coverage

FR

## Use when

- Check whether a French company appears in the public REGAFI register.
- You need to know whether a French company appears in the public REGAFI register and inspect normalized matching records.
- You specifically need financial-regulatory registration signals rather than general company compliance.

## Avoid when

- You want public alerts plus a REGAFI registration summary; use company/fr/compliance.
- You need general sanctions or asset-freeze screening; use company/fr/compliance.

## Limitations

- Coverage is limited to the public REGAFI source used by the endpoint.
- No REGAFI match is not a universal statement that an entity is unregulated in every jurisdiction or activity.

## Example queries

- Check whether a French company appears in the public REGAFI register.
