Data Sources

New Hampshire uses a single live integration against the New Hampshire Department of State, QuickStart Business Register (quickstart.sos.nh.gov). The register is the official record for every domestic and foreign for-profit and nonprofit corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, professional limited liability company, professional association, trade name, and trademark filed in New Hampshire.

Live-only. The New Hampshire Department of State does not publish a free open-data feed or bulk CSV export. Per-snapshot XML extracts are available only via a paid authenticated subscription. Every lookup resolves live against the QuickStart register. There is no non-authoritative fast path.

Each entity record published by the register includes: legal name, NH Business ID, business type, current status, management style (LLC), citizenship of formation, business creation date, home-jurisdiction formation date, principal and mailing addresses, annual-report years, NAICS principal-purpose rows, the full list of officers and directors with titles and business addresses, and the registered agent with office and mailing addresses.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
NH Business ID	Variable-length decimal number, 1 to 9 digits	`848218`	Assigned by the Department of State at filing time. Unique across all entity types: corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, trade names, and trademarks share the same numeric space.

The NH Business ID has no fixed length and no leading zeros. Observed values as of May 2026 range from roughly 100000 to 999000, but the register does not impose a minimum digit count. Pass the number as-is.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
`entityId`	Variable-length decimal	`848218`	All entity types

By NH Business ID	Numeric	`848218`	Exact	One result; `matchType: id`

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
No open-data snapshot	Every request resolves live against the QuickStart register. There is no non-authoritative fast mode, and there is no open-data baseline for onboarding checks.
Business ID is variable length	NH Business IDs have no fixed digit count and no leading zeros. Do not zero-pad or truncate. Pass the value exactly as returned by search.
Multiple register presentation formats	The QuickStart register may present entity records in different formats depending on the entity type. The API normalizes all formats into the same response shape.
No shareholders or UBOs	New Hampshire does not publicly disclose individual shareholders or ownership percentages. No state beneficial-ownership register exists.
No FEIN	The federal employer identification number is not disclosed through the public QuickStart register.
Trade Names have no Principals grid	Trade Name entities do not list officers. The registering owner is returned as an `otherKeyPersons` entry with role “Owner”.
NAICS rows may be free-text	The Principal Purpose grid on the detail page may contain free-text descriptions instead of numeric NAICS codes. Both forms are returned as-is from the register.
Annual report years, not full dates	The register publishes the last and next annual report year as integers, not full dates.
Certificate of Good Standing is a paid upgrade	The official New Hampshire Certificate of Good Standing carries a register fee and is ordered and delivered separately from company data. See Data Availability.

Legal Forms

Legal form is sourced from the “Business Type” field on the QuickStart Business Information detail page. The vocabulary is an empirical set observed from the live register (verified May 2026).

Officer Roles

NH QuickStart publishes officer, director, manager, member, and partner titles verbatim on the detail page. Common titles are mapped to a standardized role label; novel or unusual titles are normalized through AI enrichment.

Raw Title (QuickStart)	Standardized	Notes
President	President
Vice President	VicePresident
Secretary	Secretary
Treasurer	Treasurer
Director	Director
Incorporator	Director
Manager	Manager	LLC manager-managed entities
Member	Owner	LLC member-managed entities
Organizer	Owner
Partner	Partner	General partnerships
General Partner	GeneralPartner	Limited partnerships
Limited Partner	LimitedPartner	Limited partnerships
Chief Executive Officer / CEO	CEO
Chairman	Chairman
Principal	CEO

The registered agent is not returned as a Legal Representative. It is returned in otherKeyPersons. The agent receives service of process but has no statutory authority to bind the entity.

Statutory Filings

New Hampshire entities file an annual report confirming the entity’s particulars are current. The register publishes “Next Report Year” and “Last Annual Report Year”, which are years rather than dates, returned on the cross-country statutoryFilings field as next.year and lastFiled.year. No day or month is invented.

{
  "statutoryFilings": {
    "annualFiling": {
      "cadence": "annual",
      "next": { "year": 2026 },
      "lastFiled": { "year": 2025 },
      "source": "us_nh_sos"
    }
  }
}

US states publish no statutory accounts, so the accounts obligation is absent rather than returned empty. An empty object would read as “we looked and found nothing”, which is a different claim. Placeholder cells such as N/A or Inactive, Not Applicable are dropped rather than parsed as dates, so an entity with no obligation simply has no statutoryFilings.
