**API access:** `US-NH` is not yet part of the public `countryCode` enum. Contact us to enable it on your workspace. Requests sent with `countryCode: "US-NH"` will otherwise return `400` until the enum is expanded.
## 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 |
## Search Capabilities
| Search Type | Pattern | Example | Match Type | Expected Results |
| ----------------- | ----------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| By Name | 2–100 chars | `"Granite State"` | Starts-with (case-insensitive) | Multiple results; capped at 50 |
| By NH Business ID | Numeric | `848218` | Exact | One result; `matchType: id` |
Name search anchors on the beginning of the legal name (case-insensitive). To narrow results, use a more specific prefix. The result set is capped at 50 matches.
## 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](#data-availability). |
## Mappings
### 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 | |

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.
