Avoid depending on it in production, and [reach out](mailto:support@getpalm.com) before building on it. Discover which fields a formation needs for a given jurisdiction and entity type. Call this before building a formation request so you know what to collect from the user. The response groups fields into: - **Common fields** — required everywhere (name, principal address, people, etc.) - **Jurisdiction-specific fields** — extra fields the state requires - **Available add-ons** — whether registered-agent service and EIN bundling are supported `expedited_tiers` lists the expedited processing tiers the state offers (the accepted `expedited_tier` values on create); price each one with the [formation fee endpoint](/api-reference/v1/filing/get-formation-fee-estimate). If Palm does not yet support formations in a jurisdiction, the jurisdiction-specific list comes back empty and submitting a formation there returns `501`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/v1/openapi.json get /v1/filing/formation/requirement openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Palm Partner API description: >- The Palm API is identity verification and compliance infrastructure for US businesses: onboard businesses, verify businesses and people (KYB/KYC) against authoritative sources, monitor them for changes in real time, and act on their behalf through filings, formation, and registered agent services. version: '1.0' contact: name: Palm Support url: https://getpalm.com email: support@getpalm.com termsOfService: https://getpalm.com/terms license: name: Proprietary url: https://getpalm.com/license servers: - url: https://api.getpalm.com description: Production security: [] tags: - name: Registry description: Search business registries - name: Business description: Manage the businesses in your portfolio - name: User description: Manage the people in your portfolio - name: Verification description: Identity and business verification - name: Monitor description: Continuous monitoring of businesses paths: /v1/filing/formation/requirement: get: tags: - Filing summary: Get formation requirements description: >- > **⚠️ Early access** — This endpoint is in preview and may change in backwards-incompatible ways before it is marked stable.
