Data Sources

All entity data comes from the Idaho Secretary of State via the SOSBiz portal (sosbiz.idaho.gov). This is the official state register for all business entities formed or qualified to do business in Idaho, including domestic and foreign corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, nonprofits, cooperatives, and Assumed Business Names. Every request hits the live register. There is no bulk data export or open-data feed. Only verification mode is authoritative. Onboarding mode reads the same register through a lighter path to answer faster, so it can return a less complete address and legal form.

Idaho is a single-source jurisdiction. Company profile and search both come from the live SOSBiz portal. A Trade Register Extract is included in the document catalogue.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
Idaho Entity Number	Digits only, up to 10, without leading zeros (3 to 7 digits in the records we have seen, e.g. `481`, `586619`)	`3960192`	Primary identifier assigned by the Idaho Secretary of State. Also accepted zero-padded to 10 digits (`0003960192`), the form the register displays.

The Entity Number is the only identifier supported for company retrieval. To find an ID from a name, use the search endpoint first. Both the bare form and the zero-padded 10-digit form are accepted.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
`entityNumber`	Idaho Entity Number, digits only, without leading zeros (also returned as `id`)	`3960192`	All entities

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Name	1–200 chars	`"East Idaho Power Washing"`	Contains	Multiple results

Name search supports contains-matching across all registered entity names. An Entity Number typed into search is matched as free text, not as an identifier, so results carry no id match type. When the Entity Number is known, request the company profile directly.

Active companies only

Search can return companies that are no longer active. Each result carries the register’s status, so activeOnly=true removes the inactive ones.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
No officers or legal representatives	Idaho does not expose officers, directors, managers, or members through the public register.
No shareholders	Shareholder lists and LLC member names are not collected by the Idaho Secretary of State.
No activity codes	Industry classification codes (NAICS / NACE / ISIC) are not collected at the state level.
Mailing address may begin with a name	The `Mailing Address` field occasionally starts with a person’s name on the first line (e.g. `JOHN SMITH / PO BOX 70 / TREMONTON, UT`). The street address begins on the second line.
ABN entries have fewer fields	Assumed Business Names often have no registered agent and no principal address.
Inactive entities are fully retrievable	Dissolved, forfeited, withdrawn, and cancelled entities remain searchable and return a complete profile.

Mappings

Inactive-Administratively Dissolved	false
Inactive-Cancelled	false
