Delaware entity lookup What does the Division say about this file number?
Enter a Delaware file number and read the entity's record: name, formation date, kind and type, residency, state of formation and registered agent. Free, no signup.
One entity as the Division holds it
The lookup returns the free record the Delaware Division of Corporations publishes for one file number: the entity's name, the incorporation or formation date, the kind of entity (corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, statutory trust, partnership, registered series) and its type (general, bank, benefit corporation, closed corporation, exempt, series), whether it is domestic or foreign, the state of formation, and the registered agent with address, county and phone. The file number is the Division's own key and never changes; find it with the business entity search. This is the free record, not a certificate of good standing: status, franchise tax and filing history are paid services of the Division.
Formation and kind
The incorporation or formation date, the kind of entity and the Division's sub-type.
Residency and state
Domestic for an entity formed in Delaware, foreign for one formed elsewhere and registered there, with the state of formation.
Registered agent
Name, street address, city, county, state, postal code and phone of the agent on file.
Common questions
- Where does this information come from?
- From the Delaware Division of Corporations, which keeps the registry of every entity formed or registered in the state. Croma reads the record live for each lookup and returns it structured, free and with no account, with a cap on lookups per hour from the same connection.
- What is a file number?
- The number the Division assigns to every entity when it is formed or registered in Delaware, up to seven digits today. It never changes, even when the entity's name does, which makes it the safest way to refer to a company. Any search result shows it next to the name.
- Is this a certificate of good standing?
- No. The free record does not include the entity's status, its franchise tax position or its filing history; the Division sells those separately. A certificate of good standing is issued by the Division itself.
- The number shows no result. Why?
- Because the Division has no entity under it. Check the digits, or find the number again with the business entity search; the record is read live, so a company formed today already appears.
