About Secretary of State Search
Secretary of State Search is a free, independent office guide to the Secretary of State and corporations divisions of all 50 US states and Washington, DC. Each state page links the official business search and online filing portal, and lists the office's address, filing fees, annual report deadlines and the other services it handles, such as apostilles, notary commissions and UCC searches.
Plain guides explain what a Secretary of State does, how it differs from a Department of State or a state corporation commission, and which office to contact for business filings, trademarks or certified copies.
Secretary of State Search is a private guide and is not affiliated with any Secretary of State. Official searches and filings happen on each state's own website, linked on every office page.
