What you get with an Indiana lookup
- Indiana Secretary of State record — a direct link to the official Indiana business search, right in your results.
- USDOT / FMCSA carrier verification — for trucking deals, we pull the carrier's authority status, MC#, fleet size and MCS-150 history, plus the FMCSA SAFER snapshot. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
- OFAC SDN screening — optional: add it to your search to check the company name against the Treasury sanctions list.
- DBA / Fictitious Name finder — a separate tool that points you to the county/town clerk's own search (or the statewide registry) where a DBA is filed in Indiana.
- One merged PDF — cover sheet + USDOT snapshot + supporting docs, all in a credit-file-ready packet.
How Indiana files business entities
Indiana's INBiz portal launched in 2016 and remains one of the cleaner state SOS interfaces in the country. The same search returns legal names, Assumed Business Names (DBAs), and Former Name history in a single query.

How DBAs work in Indiana
Indiana files Assumed Business Names at the county recorder's office in the county where the business is located. The county recordings are typically NOT searchable online, even where the SOS surfaces entity-level DBA filings — an Indiana-specific quirk that catches out-of-state processors.
Credit-underwriting gotchas in Indiana
Indiana LLCs file BIENNIAL reports (every 2 years), not annual — easy to miss for processors expecting yearly updates. The biennial fee is $32 online or $50 by paper. Missed biennial reports trigger administrative dissolution after the next due date passes without filing.
Practical Indiana reference
Filing fees: $95 LLC formation fee (online) + $32 biennial report (every 2 years)
Officer visibility: Officers, members, and registered agents are visible on the public INBiz detail page. Former Name history is included inline in search results — useful for catching shells that have renamed.
