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. The response is always authoritative and up to date.
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 | Variable-length numeric string | 3960192 | Primary identifier assigned by the Idaho Secretary of State. Also accepted zero-padded to 10 digits (0003960192). |
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.

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| Inactive entities are fully retrievable | Dissolved, forfeited, withdrawn, and cancelled entities remain searchable and return a complete profile. |
