What you get with a Missouri lookup
- Missouri 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 Missouri, 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 Missouri files business entities
Missouri's SOS portal at bsd.sos.mo.gov is an ASP.NET form with no captcha — direct and straightforward by state-portal standards. Missouri is one of only a handful of states with NO LLC annual report requirement at all.

How DBAs work in Missouri
Missouri files Fictitious Name Registrations at the state SOS — no county-level DBA filing. Missouri also requires DBA RENEWAL every 5 years, which most states don't — many Missouri DBAs lapse silently when owners forget the renewal cycle.
Credit-underwriting gotchas in Missouri
Missouri LLCs file NO annual report — once formed, the entity stays active unless dissolved by the members. This makes the Missouri registry unusually 'sticky' — entities can sit in 'Active' status for decades after operations ceased, so 'Active' is a weaker signal here than in states with annual filings. Corporations DO owe annual registration reports, however.
Practical Missouri reference
Filing fees: $50 LLC formation fee + $0 ongoing for LLCs (corporations owe annual registration)
Officer visibility: Officers, members, and registered agents are all visible on the public Business Filings detail page. Filed documents from the formation onward are downloadable as PDFs at no charge.
