DCQL query: Certificate Of Registration
When to use
Use this template when you must know that a company exists and who it is. The Certificate Of Registration credential is the digital form of the registration extract that a business register issues. The query asks for the registered name, the legal form, the business activity, the registration date, the legal status, the organisation number, and the registered address.
Typical uses are know-your-business (KYB) checks, supplier onboarding, business account opening, and tender or procurement portals.
Ask only for the claims that your check needs. Drop the rest from the query.
Template facts
Registry version: 2025.7.1.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Title | Certificate Of Registration |
| Purpose | Certificate Of Registration |
Credential type (dc+sd-jwt, jwt_vc_json) |
CertificateOfRegistration |
Credential type (doctype, mso_mdoc) |
org.iso.18013.5.1.cor |
Namespace (mso_mdoc) |
org.iso.18013.5.1 |
| Formats | dc+sd-jwt, jwt_vc_json, mso_mdoc |
The doctype and the namespace differ for mso_mdoc. The doctype names the
document, org.iso.18013.5.1.cor. The namespace groups the data elements,
org.iso.18013.5.1.

The registry also holds an older mso_mdoc file that names each claim with a
namespace and a claim_name pair. It lists the same seven claims. Use the
path form above for a version_01 presentation definition.
How to read the path arrays
The path array names one claim, one element per level.
dc+sd-jwt: the path starts at the top level of the SD-JWT VC payload.["registeredAddress", "postCode"]reads thepostCodemember inside theregisteredAddressobject.jwt_vc_json: the path starts withcredentialSubject, because a W3C VC keeps the subject claims under that key. Every path is one element longer than thedc+sd-jwtpath for the same claim.mso_mdoc: the path holds exactly two elements. The first element is the namespace, hereorg.iso.18013.5.1. The second element is the data element name. An mdoc has no nesting below the data element, so the address arrives as oneregisteredAddressobject. The six single address members that the other two formats list have nomso_mdoccounterpart.
registeredAddress appears twice in the SD-JWT VC and W3C VC lists: once as the
whole object, and once per member. Ask for the whole object when you want the
full address. Ask for single members when you want less, for example the post
code only.
Use with the iGrant.io API
Create a presentation definition with
POST /v2/config/digital-wallet/openid/sdjwt/presentation-definition. Put the
claims of one format into one entry of dcqlQuery.credentials[]. Give the entry
an id, set format, and set meta for that format:
format |
meta |
|---|---|
dc+sd-jwt |
{ "vct_values": ["CertificateOfRegistration"] } |
jwt_vc_json |
{ "type_values": [["CertificateOfRegistration"]] } |
mso_mdoc |
{ "doctype_value": "org.iso.18013.5.1.cor" } |
The format gates the meta keys. The server refuses vct_values on
jwt_vc_json and refuses anything but doctype_value on mso_mdoc.
Set version to version_01.
{
"label": "Company registration check",
"version": "version_01",
"responseType": "vp_token",
"responseMode": "direct_post",
"dcqlQuery": {
"credentials": [
{
"id": "certificate-of-registration",
"format": "dc+sd-jwt",
"meta": { "vct_values": ["CertificateOfRegistration"] },
"claims": [
{ "path": ["name"] },
{ "path": ["legalForm"] },
{ "path": ["legalStatus"] },
{ "path": ["orgNumber"] },
{ "path": ["registeredAddress"] }
]
}
]
}
}
Then send the verification request with the V3 send operation,
POST /v3/config/digital-wallet/openid/sdjwt/verification/send, and pass the
presentationDefinitionId of the record that you created. Read the disclosed
claims from presentation on the verification history record.
The igrantio-api-verifier skill holds the full operation reference: every
field of the presentation definition, every transport option, and the shape of
the verification history record.
Source is the registry
The iGrant.io verifiable data registry is the source of truth for this template. If this skill and the registry file disagree, the registry wins. Fetch the source directory before you rely on a claim path:
- https://github.com/decentralised-dataexchange/verifiable-data-registry/tree/main/presentationDefinitions/dcqlQuery/certificateOfRegistration
- Raw file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decentralised-dataexchange/verifiable-data-registry/main/presentationDefinitions/dcqlQuery/certificateOfRegistration/2025.7.1/dc%2Bsd-jwt.schema.json
Follow the registry and report the drift so this skill can be corrected.
