## What the DIN Lookup API does

DIN Lookup retrieves the details of an individual director from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) using their Director Identification Number. It returns the director's name, father's name, date of birth, DIN status and other related information.

Use it to confirm that a person who says they are a director is on record, and that their DIN is in good standing, before you rely on their signature or onboard the company they represent.

1.  Verifying a director's identity during business onboarding
