How to search Delaware business entities

Every business that operates legally in Delaware files a public record with the Delaware Division of Corporations. That record names the entity, identifies its registered agent for service of process, and tracks every formal filing through dissolution. Those records are open to anyone — that is the legal definition of a public registry.

Corporate.AI is a free, structured front door to Delaware's public business filings. We mirror the state's data, normalize it against records from 49 other jurisdictions, and add the cross-state intelligence (shared officers, shared registered agents, NAICS sector classification, beneficial-ownership signals) that a single-state portal cannot provide. Use the search above to look up any Delaware entity by name, by primary filing number, or by officer.

For absolute freshness — same-day filings, formal certificates of good standing, certified document copies — you should also have the Delaware Div. of Corporations portal bookmarked. We link directly to it from this page.

Delaware business entity search FAQ

How do I search Delaware business entities?▶

Use the search box above to query Corporate.AI for any Delaware-registered LLC, corporation, nonprofit, or partnership. You can also search directly at the Delaware Div. of Corporations's public registry portal. Corporate.AI consolidates Delaware entity records with cross-state filings (foreign registrations, officer overlap, registered-agent networks) so a single search returns more context than the state portal alone.

Is Delaware business entity search free?▶

Yes. Public Delaware business filings are open records. Corporate.AI never charges to look up an entity, its registered agent, officers, or filing history. The Delaware Div. of Corporations also offers free public search; premium services (certified copies, certificates of good standing) typically cost $110 or more depending on document type.

What information is included in a Delaware entity search?▶

Each Delaware entity record on Corporate.AI includes the registered legal name, entity type (LLC, Corporation, LP, Nonprofit), formation date, current status, primary filing number assigned by the Delaware Div. of Corporations, registered agent (when published), officer roster (when published), and full filing history. We also surface entities that share officers, registered agents, or NAICS sector classifications across all 50 states.

How do I get a Delaware certificate of good standing?▶

A certificate of good standing (sometimes called a certificate of existence or status certificate) must be issued by the Delaware Div. of Corporations directly — Corporate.AI does not issue official certificates. You can typically request one online from the Delaware Div. of Corporations for $28–$50 with same-day or 24-hour turnaround. The certificate confirms the entity is in good standing as of the issuance date.

How do I look up a registered agent in Delaware?▶

Every Delaware business entity is required to designate a registered agent — a person or company authorized to receive service of process at a Delaware street address. Corporate.AI's registered-agent index lets you reverse-search: given an agent name, see every Delaware entity that has designated them. This pattern is useful for due diligence, beneficial-ownership analysis, and competitive research. The Delaware Div. of Corporations's portal supports forward lookup (entity → agent) but typically not reverse lookup.

What's the difference between an LLC and a corporation in Delaware?▶

A Delaware LLC (limited liability company) is the most common entity type for small businesses — it offers liability protection with pass-through taxation and minimal corporate formalities. A Delaware corporation (typically a C-corp or S-corp) is owned by shareholders, governed by a board, and is the standard vehicle for raising outside investment. Formation fees are similar — $110 for an LLC vs $109 for a corporation in Delaware as of 2026 — but the tax, governance, and capital-raising profiles differ significantly.

How recent is the Delaware business data on Corporate.AI?▶

Delaware entity records on Corporate.AI are refreshed from the Delaware Div. of Corporations's public feed on the cadence the state publishes — daily, weekly, or monthly depending on jurisdiction. Each entity page displays a "last refreshed" timestamp so you can verify how recent the underlying record is. For absolute freshness, cross-check against the Delaware Div. of Corporations's live portal (linked above) before relying on a record for legal or contractual purposes.

Can I download Delaware business entity data?▶

Yes. Corporate.AI's REST API and MCP server expose Delaware entity records in machine-readable form for licensed use cases — KYC/AML programs, sales prospecting, journalism, academic research. Bulk downloads of the Delaware Div. of Corporations's underlying data are typically available directly from the state, sometimes free and sometimes for a fee. See our /api page for licensing terms.
