Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about searching US business records, verifying companies, and understanding entity data.

Every US state maintains a public registry of businesses filed with their Secretary of State (or equivalent office). You can search these registries by company name, filing number, or registered agent.

Filed.dev lets you search across all 50 states from one place. Just enter a company name and state on our search page to find entity details, filing status, and formation date.

For step-by-step instructions, see our guide on How to Look Up a Business.
