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.

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

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.

How much does VerifySOS cost?

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.

Does VerifySOS show business ownership and officers?

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.

How do I look up a business in Wyoming?

Enter the company name on verifysos.com with the WY state code (or a USDOT number). VerifySOS searches the Wyoming Secretary of State and FMCSA SAFER together, can add an OFAC sanctions screen, and builds a verification packet PDF.

WY · Secretary of State

Verify any Wyoming business in seconds.

Wyoming SOS entity data + USDOT/FMCSA carrier records, with an optional OFAC SDN screen — all in one verification packet. Real-time pull from the official WY SOS, normalized into a clean credit-file PDF.

What you get with a Wyoming lookup

Wyoming 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 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 Wyoming.
One merged PDF — cover sheet + SOS record + USDOT snapshot + supporting docs, all in a credit-file-ready packet.

How Wyoming files business entities

Wyoming's SOS portal at wyobiz.wyo.gov hosts more LLCs than the state has residents — Wyoming created the first US LLC statute in 1977 (copying the German GmbH structure) and has marketed aggressively to out-of-state filers ever since. Wyoming is the second-most-popular incorporation state after Delaware.

How DBAs work in Wyoming

Wyoming files Trade Names at the state SOS exclusively — no county-level DBA filing. The same Filing Search returns entities and Trade Name registrations together. Wyoming was also the first state to recognize the modern series LLC structure in its statutes.

Credit-underwriting gotchas in Wyoming

Wyoming LLCs owe an annual license tax based on the assets located in Wyoming, with a $60 minimum — most small LLCs pay only the minimum. The annual report is due on the formation anniversary. Missed reports trigger 'Delinquent' status after 60 days past due, and dissolution after 2 years. Wyoming's strong anonymity protections — LLC ownership is NOT publicly disclosed on the formation document — make it a common shell-entity jurisdiction. Always cross-check Wyoming entities against registered-agent address patterns.

Practical Wyoming reference

Filing fees: $100 LLC formation fee + $60 annual license tax minimum (scales with Wyoming-situated assets)

Officer visibility: Registered agents are visible on the public Filing Search detail page, but LLC member/manager data is generally NOT publicly filed in Wyoming. Officer disclosure for corporations IS required and is visible.

Wyoming DBA / assumed-name search

Wyoming keeps its assumed-name filings in a statewide registry rather than at the county clerk. A DBA is only a trade name — it carries no owner and no status, which is why it belongs next to the entity record above, not instead of it.
