About Utah Secretary of State Business Search

What is the Utah SOS Business Search?

The Utah Secretary of State business search is the official government database that contains information about all business entities registered in Utah. This includes corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and other business structures operating in UT.

When you search "secretary of state ut business search," you're looking for this official database to verify business registrations, check entity status, and conduct due diligence on Utah businesses.

What Information Can You Find?

  • Registration date and current status
  • Registered agent information
  • Principal office address
  • Officers and directors (for corporations)
  • Annual report filing status

Using Utah Business Registration for entities and UCC

The Department of Commerce Division of Corporations and Commercial Code runs Business Registration on businessregistration.utah.gov. Business entity search and UCC search share the same application; the UCC map link adds a hash fragment so your browser can open the UCC view when the site’s client-side routing handles it. If the screen does not change, use the Search menu on the live site to pick the UCC option explicitly.

SOS information

Utah business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Search business entities

Open Online Entity Search and use the fields the Division provides for registered business records. Review entity number, status, and agent details on the record. The site recommends Chrome-based browsers and notes typical processing times for filings that are not instant. Read published disclaimers before you rely on search output for legal or lending decisions.

  • Entity search is not the same workflow as UCC lien search—use the UCC route or hash entry the division documents when you need financing statements.

File or manage business registrations

Log in with UtahID as the Business Registration prompts describe for filings, certificates, and authenticated tasks. Follow non-refundable fee notices and processing-time guidance on the official pages before you pay.

UCC information

Financing statements & lien search

UCC search (Business Registration)

Use the UCC entry point the map opens (hash route on the same Online Entity Search URL) or navigate from Search → UCC on the live site if the hash does not switch views. Match debtor names to how parties filed and confirm whether you need certified output or copies through division workflows. Login may be required for some transactions even when public search feels open.

Tips if the site feels confusing

  • Entity and UCC tools live in one Business Registration app; a clear entity screen does not prove the UCC index was searched unless you used the UCC path.
  • Bare hash routes depend on the site’s JavaScript router—if nothing changes, use the Search menu rather than assuming the index is empty.
  • Official fees, certified search rules, and browser guidance belong to the Utah Department of Commerce and your advisors, not third-party summaries.

Educational overview only. Proof of Good Standing is not a government agency. Confirm fees, forms, and requirements on the Utah Department of Commerce Division of Corporations and Commercial Code before you file or rely on search results.

Form a business

Starting a business in Utah

Entity search on this page helps you verify names and good standing. When you are ready to form a new LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, use the same next steps we link from Business Lookup: confirm the name on the official register, choose a structure with your CPA or attorney if needed, then file through the state agency (and plan for publication, registered agent, and any industry licenses that apply).

Typical state filing fees

These amounts can change when agencies update their fee schedules. Double-check the current fee list, forms, and deadlines on the official Utah business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.

  • LLC filing (state): $70
  • Corporation filing (state): $70
  • Publication / notice: Not modeled as required for LLCs in this table.
  • Ongoing reports: Annual report (LLC): $20 included in our first-year calculator total.
