How to search it

  1. Open the official search and choose a search by business or entity name.
  2. Type a distinctive part of the name; leave out “LLC” or “Inc.” if nothing comes up.
  3. Open the matching record to see its status, filing history and registered agent, as far as the state publishes them.

You can still check companies on USACIP

USACIP searches companies registered with the SEC, nonprofits in IRS data, federal records, and the state registries we already cover.
