New Jersey Business Entity Search - NJ DOS Registry KYB

New Jersey Business Entity Scraper & LLC/Corp Search

Search the official New Jersey Division of Revenue Business Name Search by exact 10-digit entity ID, legal-name prefix, or up to five AND-style keywords. Export source-linked NJ LLC, corporation, LP, and nonprofit registration evidence to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Fast first run

Run with the defaults to return one deterministic JPMorgan Chase registration record in a few seconds. The default produces at most one paid dataset item: up to $0.0021 at the current $0.002/result plus $0.0001 start pricing.

{
  "entityIds": ["0101024287"],
  "maxResults": 1
}

Blank input uses this example automatically. Search fields themselves remain blank by default, so they do not contaminate a buyer-supplied name, keyword, or entity-ID lookup.

Output fields

Found records include:

• entityId — source-reported 10-digit NJ entity identifier
• businessName — registered legal name
• entityType and entityTypeCode — for example, Foreign For-Profit Corporation / FR
• city — source-reported city
• incorporatedDate and incorporatedDateIso
• searchTerm and searchMode
• sourceUrl, retrievedAt, and evidenceNotice
• setupStatus: found

No-match, invalid-input, and official-source-unavailable outcomes are explicit dataset items rather than ambiguous empty runs.

Search examples

Exact entity ID

{
  "entityIds": ["0101024287"],
  "maxResults": 1
}

Legal-name prefix

{
  "query": "JPMorgan Chase",
  "maxResults": 10
}

Batch legal-name search

{
  "searchTerms": ["Garden State", "Newark Holdings", "Liberty"],
  "maxResults": 25
}

AND-style keywords

{
  "keywords": ["garden", "landscaping"],
  "maxResults": 25
}

maxResults is a total response cap across all supplied searches. The actor also honors Apify's run charge limit before querying the source.

Evidence limits

This actor returns the fields shown by New Jersey's free public Business Name Search. It does not report:

• current standing or active/dissolved status;
• registered agent, officers, owners, or beneficial owners;
• a complete street address;
• tax, license, lien, or compliance status; or
• certified records.

The displayed incorporation date and city are point-in-time source fields and may be corrected. Similar names require entity-ID review. A no-match result is bounded to the supplied identifier/name and does not prove that an entity is absent, inactive, or unregistered under another name. Obtain a certified record or NJ status report when authoritative standing evidence is required.

Source and limits

• Official source: New Jersey Division of Revenue Business Name Search
• No proxy, browser automation, account, or CAPTCHA bypass is used
• The source returns at most 500 rows per individual search; use specific names or entity IDs for high-confidence matching
• The actor retries transport, response-read, and retryable HTTP failures, then emits source_unavailable rather than turning an outage into a false no-match
