Name Search

Recommended search techniques include exact text of the entity name or mark, keyword with wildcard (%) and partial Keyword with wildcard (%). Implementing one of these search techniques will optimize search results to display all occurrences of entities that contain that string. The search program simultaneously queries the Legal Name, Former Name and Assumed Name data fields of the Corporate entity database and queries the Mark Text data field while searching for registered Marks. For best results, try to narrow your search as much as possible by searching on less common words or by using a combination of words.

Example:
    To search for Acme Company, Inc.
    exact text search: Acme Company, Inc.
    keyword with wildcard (%): %acme%
    partial keyword with wild card (%): %acm%

Charter Number Search

Please enter the 10 digit charter number of the entity to be searched. If the charter number has only 9 digits, you must place a space between the 8th and 9th digits.

Example:
    19990000 D or 19900000ND
