Verify any Indiana business in seconds.
Indiana SOS entity data + USDOT/FMCSA carrier records + OFAC SDN screening — all in one verification packet. Real-time pull from the official IN SOS, normalized into a clean credit-file PDF.
What you get with a Indiana lookup
- Indiana SOS entity record — name, status, entity type, formation date, registered agent + address, principal office, and officers/managers where the state exposes them.
- USDOT / FMCSA carrier verification — for trucking deals, we pull the carrier's authority status, MC#, fleet size, MCS-150 history, and BASIC scores. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
- OFAC SDN screening — every search runs the company name against the Treasury sanctions list. Clear-result PDFs are signed.
- DBA / Fictitious Name registries — surfaces the county/town clerk where this entity would file a DBA in Indiana, plus the statewide registry when one exists.
- One merged PDF — cover sheet + SOS record + 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. The INBiz search uses reCAPTCHA on every submit.
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.

VerifySOS pulls the Indiana SOS record for you automatically — no manual lookup, no PDF upload. IN sits behind a slower portal (or a captcha we solve on your behalf), so results typically land in under a minute rather than instantly. USDOT, OFAC, and county DBA lookups run automatically alongside it.
