## Creating a compliance element

To create a compliance element, pass `'compliance'` and its configuration object to `createElement()`, which is exposed by the [`DigitalRiver` object](/commerce-api/resources/reference/digitalriver-object.md).

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Example" %}

```
var complianceOptions = {
  classes: {
    base: 'DRElement'
  },
  compliance: {
    locale: 'en-US',
    entity: 'DR_INC-ENTITY'
  }
}
var compliance = digitalRiver.createElement('compliance', complianceOptions);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
