Japan supplier review checklist

Keep entity identification, source checks and outstanding questions together in an exportable review log. Start with the Japanese registered name and Corporate Number, then document each source separately.

Before you complete the worksheet

  1. Confirm the contracting entity, including its registered address. A trading name alone is insufficient.
  2. Select the agencies and review period relevant to your purchase. Use the official-source directory as a starting point.
  3. Record what you searched and what remains unresolved. Read the procurement suspension guide for interpretation.
  4. Save the completed worksheet with the original notices and your internal decision.

No account required. Entries stay in this tab and are not saved by this tool or sent with an inquiry. Export before closing or reloading. CSV files can be opened in a spreadsheet; import the Corporate Number column as text to preserve digits.

Source review log

Use a separate row for each authority or database. Record the exact notice URL and suspension dates when a record is found. Finding a name is not confirmation of identity or current suspension.

Continue the review

Use RegBase company search to look for a company evidence page, and compare it with the original source. Coverage and identity attribution vary by record.
