Global Registry Information Directory

Enabling Authoritative Registry Verification

The Global Registry Information Directory (GRID) adds value to the work of Authoritative Registrars, reduces global trade risks and increases supply chain trustworthiness and transparency.

The GRID is a UN curated and member maintained list of the authoritative registrars of participating UN Member States. For supply chain participants, border control, regulatory compliance and trade verification, it answers the question:

"Who is the authoritative registrar for this in country X?"
