Stay up to date with new features, improvements, and bug fixes to the Palm Platform.

​
Week of September 21, 2026

Cases: Palm can now ask you for documents on a case as well as information, and you can answer with files you have uploaded. A new legal_name_change case kind tells you when a case will change the business name being filed, so you can update the name in your own records. Business: Documents now show which filing or case they belong to, and you can list a business’s documents by filing or by case. Formations & Filings: Tennessee LLC formations now require an explicit answer to the Obligated Member Entity election. You can now set a delayed effective date, with an optional effective time, on Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, and Tennessee formations. The business name is now legal_name on formation requests, filings, and EIN results. entity_name on formation requests and name on filings are deprecated but still supported.

​
Week of September 14, 2026

MCP Server: Palm’s MCP server now supports person verification alongside business verification. Business: A document can now carry more than one type, so a single file that is both a receipt and a filing confirmation is labeled as both. type is deprecated in favor of types. Formations & Filings: EIN applications for corporations now accept the corporation subtype, such as S Corporation, and EIN applications bundled with an LLC formation now accept the number of LLC members.

​
Week of September 7, 2026

Monitor: You can now start monitoring a business without verifying it first — send a Palm ID, or a jurisdiction and registration number, and Palm adds the business to your portfolio for you. Webhooks: The document.created event now names the resource a document belongs to, so you can route forwarded registered-agent mail to the right business the moment it arrives. The same details are returned when you retrieve or list a document. Formations & Filings: Documents delivered on a completed filing now carry more granular types, so you can identify each one by type rather than by file name.

​
Week of August 31, 2026

Formations & Filings: Formation documents now carry more specific types, so the state’s filing confirmation and welcome letter are identifiable programmatically. Registered Agent: Cancelling a formation now cancels its pending Palm registered-agent service as a first-class operation, with its own terminal status and a new registered_agent.canceled webhook. Registry: You can now look up the name designators a jurisdiction accepts for each entity type, so you can offer valid options up front or append one yourself instead of discovering the rule from a rejected name. The endpoint is in early access.

​
Week of August 10, 2026

Formations & Filings: You can now cancel a filing before it enters processing — cancelling a formation that hasn’t started also cancels its related pending filings, such as the EIN. Formation requirement schemas now carry titles, descriptions, and readable option labels on every field, so you can render them directly in your own forms. Fee estimates now include state card-payment convenience fees in Maryland and Wyoming.

​
Week of August 3, 2026

Registry: Registry search now filters on two finer entity types — professional LLC and professional corporation. Formations & Filings: LLC formation, EIN, and filing endpoints are now out of early access. Corporation formation stays in early access for now. You can also send an idempotency key with a filing submission, so a retry returns the original filing instead of creating a second one. Registered Agent: Forwarded documents now carry a more precise document type, making service of process, state notices, and formation records straightforward to route on.

​
Week of July 20, 2026

Formations & Filings: The EIN application now supports capturing a spouse or registered domestic partner in the community-property states that require it. Fee estimates now include convenience and processing fees, so estimated totals match what’s actually charged.

​
Week of July 13, 2026

Name Eligibility: You can now check whether a proposed business name will be accepted before filing, across all 50 states and DC. One response returns an eligible/not-eligible answer with plain-language reasons and availability, for LLCs, Corporations, and their professional variants. Formations & Filings: The formation requirements endpoint now reports entity contact fields under their canonical names (email, phone, and website) and marks required contact fields accurately, matching what formation submission expects. API: Test mode can now simulate verification and filing outcomes deterministically: set the reserved _simulate control on a test-key request to drive a specific result. Registered Agent: Registered-agent changes and terminations now return their documents via the document.created event, so you can retrieve them without polling.

​
Week of July 6, 2026

API: Test mode is here: every API key and Console view now resolves to test or live, with all data partitioned by mode so test activity never touches production. Registered Agent: Registered Agent is now its own resource with its own status lifecycle, and new registered-agent webhook events track it from creation through every change. Formations & Filings: A formation now exposes a related-items view: each part of the bundle reports its own status, plus an overall completion rollup.

​
Week of June 29, 2026

Registry: Business registry detail lookups now return a grouped identifier object that surfaces additional well-known identifiers Palm already holds for a business: the Legal Entity Identifier (identifier.lei), the SEC EDGAR identifier (CIK), the Canadian Business Number, and the state taxpayer number, so you can cross-reference a business against external registries like GLEIF and SEC EDGAR directly from our response. Only identifiers that are present for a given business are included, keeping the payload lean. Formations & Filings: The EIN application now captures the IRS’s conditional Form SS-4 questions as structured fields, covering the category-specific principal-activity follow-ups and employee-count details, so a complete application can be submitted in a single request; you can also dry-run validate an EIN application before submitting it. Fee estimates and the filing.completed event now include a total fee alongside the line-item breakdown. Webhooks: You can now replay past webhook events for a chosen time range, self-serve from the Console and via the API, giving you a standard way to recover deliveries after an outage on your side. Endpoints that are automatically disabled after sustained delivery failures now also send an email alert so you know to step in.

​
Week of June 22, 2026

Registry: Registry search can now start from a person, not just a business. Pass a person’s name and you get back every business they’re connected to (as an officer, director, manager, member, or registered agent) which makes due-diligence and KYB workflows much easier. You can also filter registry search by Palm ID to jump straight to a business you’ve already seen. Formations & Filings: Breaking: filing documents are now referenced by a document ID rather than a URL. Update any integration that reads document URLs from filing responses.

​
Week of June 15, 2026

Formations & Filings: The formation requirements endpoint now returns fully self-contained schemas. Unresolved $refs are gone, so you can parse requirements directly without dereferencing external pointers.

​
Week of June 8, 2026

Formations & Filings: The Formations & Filings API is live. You can form LLCs and Corporations programmatically end to end: apply for an EIN, check name availability, pull state-aware filing requirements, get fee estimates before you file, and track each filing through its full status lifecycle, with webhooks firing on every status change. Registered Agent: The Registered Agent API launched alongside it. Retrieve an agent’s status, name, and address, and request an RA change or termination through the API. Lifecycle webhooks (registered_agent.activated, .changed, .termination_requested, and .terminated) keep your systems in sync as things change. Webhooks: A new document.created event fires the moment a document becomes available on a business, so you can react without polling. We also fixed filing.completed so it always includes the fee field, which could previously come back null. Verify: Identity verification scoring got more accurate, cutting down false positives on legitimate individuals.

​
Week of May 25, 2026

Formations & Filings: Filings that need extra information now drive an information-request flow, giving you a structured way to collect and submit the missing fields. Verify: Improved EIN matching during business verification. Webhooks: Webhook signature headers are now matched case-insensitively, which fixes signature verification for HTTP clients that normalize header casing. Business: You can now delete a business through the API, so you can clean up records you no longer need to track on your own.

​
Week of May 18, 2026

Verify: When several businesses look alike, verification now disambiguates between them and resolves to the best match more reliably. Formations & Filings: Filings can now report exception statuses, giving you a clearer signal when one needs attention.

​
Week of April 13, 2026

Single Sign-On for Palm Console Users can now access the Palm Console with their Google account, removing password friction. Public Developer Documentation Palm’s API and product capabilities can be evaluated directly, without gating or access requests. Monitor Next Actions On top of registry change events, Monitor now surfaces the specific next compliance action a business needs to take. Usage-Based Pricing Palm now meters API usage across verification, registry search and detail, and monitoring subscriptions.

​
Week of January 19, 2026
