This section should contain some information about existing international and national registers of
- countries and rulers (see e.g. ISO Country codes, CIA World Leaders, Rulers.org)
- citizens and residents (see e.g. Global Identity Summit, Biometric Consortium, World Identity Network, Aadhaar)
- authors - ISNI contains names of authors and publishers of books, music, films etc. since the time of Diogenes of Sinope. Try to find yourself there. If you fail - write a book, send it to Library of Congress and wait...
- books and serial publications (see ISSN, ISBN)
- domains, sites and blogs (see TLD)

Worldwide Legal Entities Register is being built under G20 Cannes Summit decision (2011) by Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF). Now (November 2018) the LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) database includes about 1.3 million entities. Registration is voluntary, but in some countries LEI number is required for securities trade.

There still exist some private initiatives, e.g. Dun & Bradstreet’s Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S Number). It started in 1963 and now includes more than 300 million businesses worldwide.
Banks
- SWIFT BIC (Bank Identifier Codes) Database - more than 11.000 banks in the World
