Corporate Records Search
About Corporate Records Search
Quick answer. A corporation search reads the public charter file: name, file number, status, registered agent, and the reports that state chose to publish. The internal corporate records book, stock ledger, and bylaws stay with the company unless they were attached to a filing.
What this site is for
“Corporate records” is two different piles. The state pile is the articles of incorporation, amendments, mergers, and the annual or periodic report. The company pile is the minute book, the stock ledger, and signed consents. A corporation lookup on a state site reaches only the first pile. Corporate books and records requests under a shareholder statute are aimed at the company, not at the filing office.
Officers and directors show up when the state collects them on a report and posts them. They are a snapshot of the last report, not a promise that the same people still sign contracts. Addresses on those reports can be the registered office rather than a home address.
When you need the filed articles, order the imaged charter or a certified copy from the same office that ran the corporation search. A PDF reprint on a private site is not the certified copy a bank asked for.
What we will not pretend to be
Corporate Records Search is not a secretary of state and does not hold anyone’s corporate records book.
