What you get with a New Jersey lookup
- New Jersey 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 New Jersey, 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 New Jersey files business entities
New Jersey files entities through the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services — not the Secretary of State, which is unusual. NJ was the original 'incorporation haven' state in the 1880s, until Delaware overtook it in 1899 by halving the franchise tax.

How DBAs work in New Jersey
New Jersey calls DBAs 'Alternate Names,' filed alongside entity registration through the Division of Revenue's njportal.com Business Name Search. The same portal covers entities and alternate-name filings statewide — no county-level filing layer.
Credit-underwriting gotchas in New Jersey
New Jersey LLCs owe a $75 annual report fee PLUS a separate $50 Business Registration Certificate maintained by the Division of Taxation — two filings, two agencies, easy to confuse. Missed annual reports lead to 'Revoked' status after 2 years; revoked NJ entities cannot legally contract or sue. The Alternate Name field is publicly searchable, which is a useful trade-name signal.
Practical New Jersey reference
Filing fees: $125 LLC formation fee + $75 annual report + $50 Business Registration Certificate
Officer visibility: Officers, members, and registered agents are visible on the public detail page. Alternate-name (DBA) data is searchable in the same query.
