Delaware Corporations Search

Look up entities in the Delaware Division of Corporations public registry by name or file number. Each Dataset row is one matching Delaware entity — file number, registered name, and (by default) the free public Entity Details fields including incorporation date, entity kind/type, residency, and registered agent.

Useful for KYC, due diligence, fund formation, and confirming that a Delaware entity exists under the name or file number you were given.

Features

• Batch entity-name searches (prefix match; up to 50 hits per name from the registry)
• Exact file-number lookups
• Optional name broadening when an exact name has no match (legal suffix stripped, then distinctive word)
• Public Entity Details: incorporation date, kind, type, residency, registered agent
• De-duplication by file number and a maxEntities ceiling
• Optional Apify proxy support

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
entityNames	array	—	Entity names to search
fileNumbers	array	—	Delaware file numbers (digits)
queries	array	—	Alias of entityNames
maxEntities	integer	50	Max unique entities (by file number)
exactOnly	boolean	false	Disable broadened name fallback
includeDetails	boolean	true	Fetch public Entity Details per match
requestDelayMs	integer	250	Delay between registry requests
proxyConfiguration	object	—	Optional proxy settings

At least one entity name or file number is required.

Example

{
  "entityNames": ["Stripe"],
  "fileNumbers": ["4056247"],
  "maxEntities": 5,
  "exactOnly": false,
  "includeDetails": true
}

Output

One Dataset item per unique Delaware entity, including:

• entity_name, file_number
• search_query, search_type (entity_name | file_number)
• match_mode (exact | broadened), requested_name
• state_of_formation (DE), source
• Detail fields when requested: incorporation_date, incorporation_date_iso, entity_kind, entity_type, residency, registered-agent fields, detail_status

The free public registry does not include entity status, annual-report year, stock, or tax data (Delaware sells those separately).
