Data Sources

Alaska uses a single live integration against the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development, Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing (CBPL). The register covers every entity formed or registered under Title 10 of the Alaska Statutes: business corporations (AS 10.06), nonprofit corporations (AS 10.20), professional corporations (AS 10.45), limited liability companies (AS 10.50), limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, cooperative associations, and assumed/fictitious business name registrations (AS 10.35). Every request retrieves data live from the register. The entity profile returned includes: legal name and name variants, current status, AK formation date, duration and expiration, home state, next biennial-report due date, entity mailing and physical addresses, the registered agent with mailing and physical addresses, the officials roster with role labels and any reported ownership percentages, and the full filing history.

Filing documents included. Each entity’s complete filing history ships in the same call at no extra charge. This covers the Creation Filing (Articles of Association), Initial and Biennial Reports, amendments, changes of officials, and other historical filings. The number of filings per entity ranges from a few for recently formed LLCs to 70 or more for long-running corporations.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
Alaska Entity Number	5–8 digits for modern entities; older entities carry a trailing `D` (e.g. `1089D`)	`10310827`	Assigned by the Division of Corporations (CBPL). Pass the number exactly as the register shows it.

Entities formed under the older numbering scheme (typically the 1930s and 1940s) carry a D suffix, for example 1089D or 993D. These are valid entity numbers and must be passed with the suffix. Modern entities (five to eight digits, no suffix) can be queried directly.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
`entityNumber`	5–8 digits, or digits plus trailing `D` for pre-modern entities	`10310827`	All entities

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Name	2–100 chars	`"Tongass"`	Contains (case-insensitive)	Multiple results
By Alaska Entity Number	5–8 digits (or with `D` suffix)	`10310827`	Exact	Exact match returned first (`matchType: id`)

Contains search. Name search matches any entity whose legal name or name variant contains the query string (case-insensitive). This includes previous legal names, active assumed names, and expired names registered against the entity. Use a longer query string to narrow the result set.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Entity number format varies by era	Modern entities use 5–8 numeric digits (e.g. `94711`, `10310827`). Entities formed in the 1930s–1940s carry a `D` suffix (e.g. `1089D`, `993D`). Both formats are valid. Pass the number exactly as the register shows it.
Officials data lags up to two years	Alaska entities file biennial reports every two years on their anniversary date. The officials roster and ownership percentages on file reflect the most recent biennial report. For entities that have not yet filed their next report, officer and ownership data can be up to twenty-four months old.
Ownership percentage is not always present	The officials table publishes an ownership percentage only when the entity has reported one. When no percentage appears on file, the field is absent. Topograph does not infer a percentage from the number of officials or any other signal.
Multiple name records per entity	Each entity can carry several name rows: Legal Name, Previous Legal Name, Active Name, and Expired Name. Search results may return the same entity multiple times under different name records. Always use the entity number, not the name, to fetch the profile.
Name search includes historical names	A contains search matches against all name records, including previous and expired names. An entity may appear in search results for a name it no longer uses.
No shareholder or UBO register	Alaska does not maintain a public beneficial-ownership register. Ownership percentages, when available, come from the officials roster on the entity detail page. The federal beneficial-ownership database is restricted to authorized users.
No activity codes in live profile	Industry classification codes (NAICS, NACE, ISIC) are not part of the live entity detail page. They are excluded from the Alaska company-data offering today.
Business Name Registrations are included	Assumed and fictitious name registrations (DBA filings under AS 10.35) appear in the register and in search results alongside full corporations and LLCs. These are name-only registrations, not separate legal entities; they carry no officer or filing history beyond the initial registration.
No federal tax ID	The federal employer identification number (FEIN) is not disclosed through the Alaska public business register.
Per-filing certificates deferred	Some filings have a separate Certificate column on the register (for example, a Certificate of Incorporation attached to a Creation Filing). Those certificate PDFs are published by the register but are not yet returned as a separate document type. The Filing PDF itself is always returned when the document type is supported.

Mappings

Legal Forms

Legal form is sourced from the entity-type label published by the Division of Corporations on every entity record. Alaska does not publish a closed formal taxonomy; the values below are the categories observed in the public register. A complete enumeration is pending a full pass over the bulk extract.

Alaska entity types (preliminary set)

Register Label	Standardized	Notes
Business Corporation	Corporation	Formed under AS 10.06
Nonprofit Corporation	Nonprofit	Formed under AS 10.20
Limited Liability Company	LLC	Formed under AS 10.50
Business Name Registration	AssumedName	DBA / assumed-name filing under AS 10.35

The legal form vocabulary is a preliminary set observed during integration. Additional entity types (professional corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, cooperative associations) exist in the register and will be added to the manifest as enumeration completes. See the pricing page for the current list.

Officer Roles

The officials roster on the Alaska register lists one or more comma-separated role labels per official (for example, “Director, Shareholder” or “Director, Secretary, Treasurer”). Each raw label is normalized to a standardized role.

Common Register Label	Standardized	Notes
Director	Director	Standard corporation director
President	President	Statutory corporation officer
Vice President	VicePresident
Secretary	Secretary
Treasurer	Treasurer
Member	Member	LLC member (member-managed entities)
Manager	Manager	LLC manager (manager-managed entities)
Shareholder	Shareholder	Appears on the officials roster when ownership is reported
General Partner	GeneralPartner	Limited partnerships
Organizer	Incorporator	Entity organizer at formation

Officials whose Owned field carries an ownership percentage are also returned as shareholders. An official can appear in both legalRepresentatives and shareholders when both role and ownership data are present on file.
