Business entity searches can be performed
free of charge (log in not required) or while you are logged in to the
jurisdiction's Web site. Searches can be initiated for business entities
and registered agents, by charter number or business ID. Business entities
with a status of Pending New,
Other or Rejected
will not be displayed in search results. Refer to
Notes:
If another filing for the same business entity is in process or is of the same filing type as the current filing, you will be alerted to try again later. The current filing cannot be continued but can be restarted when the other filing has been completed (accepted/rejected).
Screens, fields and labels that display in images below are configurable based on your jurisdiction's implementation and may not reflect your filing type.
If you need to re-enter information, select the button labeled Previous to return to the screen you were on prior to the current screen.
If your filing requires a two-step review process, an internal Secretary of State processor must review your filing for compliance before it can be accepted or rejected. After making payment, you will be notified via the email address set up during account creation. To view correspondence for your filing, refer to Viewing Correspondence-BE for information about accessing your filing records.
Contact your jurisdiction's office if you have questions about this or any of the procedures outlined in SystemWORKS Help.
