Every API here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.

description: RegIDs are the authoritative unique IDs guaranteed to identify a UW person permanently. RegIDs are assigned to a person by the Identity Registration Service, the authoritative source for person data reconciled from several data sources which may represent multiple records and accounts for a single person.
