TRIXO Form

The purpose of the TRIXO questionnaire is to provide responses to a common set of questions VASPs might ask each other before exchanging Travel Rule information.

When registering for TRISA membership, applicants must submit their TRIXO questionnaire in JSON form (shown below) as part of their application. After a VASP has been issued certificates, these TRIXO details are logged in the TRISA Global Directory Service to facilitate member lookups and mutual verification ahead of information exchanges.

JSON Formatting

Below is a sample TRIXO form, containing all of the fields required during registration for the TRISA network.
