Japanese Regulatory Enforcement API

A focused search and API workflow for teams that cannot manually inspect Japanese regulator websites for every counterparty.

Who this helps

  • Compliance teams checking Japanese regulatory actions across multiple agencies
  • Law firms and consultants supporting overseas clients with Japan exposure
  • Investors and M&A teams screening Japanese targets and portfolio companies

Practical workflow

  1. 1Search enforcement records by company, regulator, law, action type, or keyword.
  2. 2Use English labels to understand the Japanese action type and legal context.
  3. 3Verify each item through the official source link and evidence pack.
  4. 4Use the public API to pull records into internal tools or lightweight AI workflows.

Public records and evidence to check

Consumer Affairs Agency, Japan Fair Trade Commission, FSA, MLIT, MHLW, PPC, and other public-source records

Important limitation

RegBase is an initial screening and monitoring tool based on public sources. It does not replace legal advice, credit reporting, sanctions screening, procurement approval, or enhanced due diligence. Verify material records against the linked Japanese source.
