Avoid depending on it in production, and [reach out](mailto:support@getpalm.com) before building on it. List the name designators (also called suffixes) a jurisdiction accepts for each entity type — the `LLC`, `Inc.`, or `P.C.` a business name must carry to be filed there. Call this before collecting a name so you can offer the valid designators up front, or append one on the user's behalf, rather than discovering the requirement from a rejected name. Omit `entity_type` to receive every entity type in one response. A few jurisdictions mandate no designator for an entity type (California corporations, for one). Those return `required: false` with an empty `accepted` list, meaning a name may be filed with or without one. Designators are one of several naming requirements. A name carrying a valid designator can still be rejected for other reasons, so check the finished name with the name-eligibility endpoint before filing. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/v1/openapi.json get /v1/business/registry/{registration_jurisdiction}/name-eligibility/designator 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/business/registry/{registration_jurisdiction}/name-eligibility/designator: get: tags: - Registry summary: Get accepted name designators description: >- > **⚠️ Early access** — This endpoint is in preview and may change in backwards-incompatible ways before it is marked stable.
