# Nevada
> Country-specific identifiers, data sources, and integration details
## Start here
This guide contains public integration notes for Nevada. Use it for identifier formats, search behavior, and country-specific caveats. The live source of truth for coverage, pricing, data sources, documents, legal forms, roles, and status values is the pricing page.
Open the current catalog for supported datapoints, documents, sources, identifiers, and availability.
This jurisdiction may be in preview or limited availability. Check the live pricing page or contact support before relying on it in production.
Country details below are preserved as integration notes. If a table or example conflicts with the live pricing page, use the pricing page as the source of truth and contact support.

**API access:** `US-NV` is not yet part of the public `countryCode` enum. Contact us to enable it on your workspace. Requests sent with `countryCode: "US-NV"` will otherwise return `400` until the enum is expanded.
## Data Sources
Nevada uses a single integration against the **Nevada Secretary of State, SilverFlume Business Portal** (`esos.nv.gov/EntitySearch/OnlineEntitySearch`). The portal indexes every corporation, LLC, limited partnership, business trust, nonprofit, and other commercial entity registered under the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Unlike many US states, Nevada publishes the full officer roster on the free public entity page. Every officer, director, and manager reported on the most recent annual or amended list is visible without any paid tier. This means a single request powers company data, legal representatives, and the registered agent together.
Nevada does not publish a free bulk dataset. The Secretary of State offers bulk data only through a paid subscription programme; the public portal is the sole free access path. All requests are served live from the portal.
**Nevada Business Entity Extract included.** Every company data request also delivers the printable **Nevada Business Entity Extract** (a PDF of the SilverFlume entity page) at no extra charge. No separate document purchase is needed.
## Company Identifiers
### Query Identifiers
| Identifier | Format | Example | Notes |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Entity Number** | Alphanumeric prefix + sequence, optional dash-separated revision | `LLC1688-2002` | Primary identifier assigned by the Nevada Secretary of State. Used to look up entities on SilverFlume. |
| **NV Business ID** | `NV` followed by an 11-digit sequence | `NV20021018811` | Cross-agency identifier shared with the Nevada Department of Taxation. Accepted as an alternative search input. |
Both the Entity Number and the NV Business ID are accepted as query inputs. The Entity Number is the primary key. Pass it as-is with the letter prefix and any dash-separated revision suffix. Stripping the prefix or suffix will not resolve correctly.
### Identifiers in API Response
| Identifier | Format | Example | Found In |
| -------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `entityNumber` | Alphanumeric prefix + sequence | `LLC1688-2002` | All entities |
| `nvBusinessId` | `NV` + 11 digits | `NV20021018811` | Most entities (not present on all records) |
## Search Capabilities
| Search Type | Pattern | Example | Match Type | Expected Results |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| By Name | 2–100 chars | `"Wynn"` | Starts-with (case-insensitive) | Multiple results |
| By Entity Number | Alphanumeric prefix + digits | `LLC1688-2002` | Exact | Single match (`matchType: id`) |
| By NV Business ID | `NV` + 11 digits | `NV20021018811` | Exact | Single match (`matchType: id`) |
**Name search anchors on the start.** A query for `"Wynn"` returns entities whose legal name begins with `Wynn`. Use longer query strings to narrow results; the result set is capped at 50 matches. Passing an Entity Number or NV Business ID into the name search field will not find a match. Use the identifier search instead.
## Quirks & Gotchas
| Quirk | Details |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Entity Number prefix is load-bearing** | Entity Numbers have a letter prefix that encodes the entity class (e.g. `LLC`, `C`, `LP`, `NV`, `E`). Do not strip or normalise the prefix: the portal treats `LLC1688-2002` and `1688-2002` as different (unresolvable) keys. |
| **SilverFlume renders type codes in the legal form label** | The portal displays entity type as `"Domestic Corporation (78)"` where `78` is an internal code. The API strips the trailing code and returns only the clean label in `legalForm.localName`. |
| **Name Reservation is not a legal entity** | SilverFlume can return a `Name Reservation` entry when someone has reserved a name before forming an entity. These records have no officers, no formation date, and no legal form. Querying a Name Reservation ID returns a 404. |
| **Officers reflect the most recent annual list** | Nevada requires an annual list of officers (due each anniversary month). The officers shown are from the last filed annual or amended list, which may be up to a year old. Entities in `Default` status have missed at least one annual list. |
| **No shareholders or UBO register** | Nevada does not publish ownership or beneficial ownership data for any entity type. |
| **No activity codes** | Industry classification (NAICS, SIC) is not collected by the Nevada business register. |
| **Sole proprietors are county-level** | Sole proprietors and doing-business-as filings are registered at county level and are not indexed by the state register. |
| **Compliance Hold flag** | Entities with a Compliance Hold have an outstanding obligation (typically a business licence fee) with the state. The API surfaces this in the company status. |
## Mappings
### Legal Forms
Legal form is sourced from the `Entity Type` field on the SilverFlume entity page. The vocabulary is a closed set derived from the Nevada Revised Statutes (Chapters 78, 82, 86, 87, 87A, 88, 88A, 89, and 116). Each form is paired with a Topograph standardized category and, where a matching code exists, a GLEIF ISO 20275 ELF code for the US-NV jurisdiction.
The full 31-value table with ISO 20275 codes is available on the [pricing page](https://topograph.co/pricing/us-nv). A representative sample:
| SilverFlume Entity Type | Standardized | ISO 20275 |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | --------- |
| Domestic Corporation | Corporation | `8WM4` |
| Foreign Corporation | Corporation | `8WM4` |
| Domestic Close Corporation | Corporation | `8WM4` |
| Domestic Professional Corporation | Corporation | `8WM4` |
| Domestic Nonprofit Corporation | NonprofitOrganization | `IY8C` |
| Foreign Nonprofit Corporation | NonprofitOrganization | `IY8C` |
| Domestic Nonprofit Cooperative Corporation | NonprofitOrganization | `IY8C` |
| Domestic Corporation Sole | NonprofitOrganization | `IY8C` |
| Domestic Limited-Liability Company | LimitedLiabilityCompany | `MM8M` |
| Foreign Limited-Liability Company | LimitedLiabilityCompany | `MM8M` |
| Domestic Professional LLC | LimitedLiabilityCompany | `MM8M` |
| Domestic Restricted LLC | LimitedLiabilityCompany | `MM8M` |
| Domestic Series LLC | LimitedLiabilityCompany | `MM8M` |
| Domestic Limited Partnership | Partnership | `62L3` |
| Foreign Limited Partnership | Partnership | `62L3` |
| Domestic Limited-Liability Partnership | Partnership | `7K6U` |
| Domestic Limited-Liability Limited Partnership | Partnership | `7K6U` |
| Domestic General Partnership | Partnership | |
| Domestic Business Trust | Trust | `SUEQ` |
| Domestic Real Estate Investment Trust | Trust | `SUEQ` |
| Common-Interest Community | NonprofitOrganization | |
The full enum, including all foreign variants and remaining domestic sub-forms, is on the [Nevada pricing page](https://topograph.co/pricing/us-nv).
