Question 1

What is VerifySOS?

Accepted Answer

VerifySOS is a business-verification tool for credit and underwriting in trucking and commercial finance, with real-time lookups across all 50 states. One search merges Secretary of State registration, FMCSA/USDOT authority and ownership (where the state publishes it) into a single PDF packet, with an optional OFAC sanctions screen.

Question 2

How do I look up a business across all 50 states?

Accepted Answer

Enter the company name and its 2-letter state code (or a USDOT number) on verifysos.com. It searches the Secretary of State and FMCSA SAFER side by side, can add an OFAC sanctions screen, and generates a verification packet PDF. USDOT/FMCSA data covers all 50 states; Secretary of State lookups are live in most states, and elsewhere the results give you a direct link to the official state business search.

Question 3

How much does VerifySOS cost?

Accepted Answer

You get 3 free searches with no signup and no card, each with its PDF. A free account adds unlimited searches, 3 verification reports (PDF packets) a day and 3 API lookups a day. Pro is $14.99/month for unlimited verification reports and API lookups, with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.

Question 4

Does VerifySOS show business ownership and officers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every plan. Where a state publishes officers, members, or managers in its free public records, VerifySOS pulls them into the packet, separate from the registered agent, which is not the owner.
