iDenfy, a Lithuanian-based regulatory technology company, has introduced a new addition to its Know Your Business (KYB) platform, the Secretary of State (SOS) business search tool.
This feature helps businesses instantly connect and verify company information across all 50 US states using official SOS records.
The SOS business search is now live and available to all users on iDenfy’s dashboard.
According to the firm, the new API solution will help high-risk companies, such as fintechs and banks, improve KYB onboarding accuracy and ensure compliance across different states.
Domantas Ciulde, CEO of iDenfy, says: “Our SOS lookup system connects to all US SOS office portals and extracts relevant information about another company in seconds, which is vital for B2B partnerships and KYB compliance.
“Otherwise, analysts need to look up all portals manually, and it can be confusing, as some companies are registered in one state, while they actually operate in another location.”
The firm also adds that the SOS tool also helps to identify potential threats such as inactive entities, missing or inconsistent registration data, and past bankruptcies.
These red flags often signal shell companies and suspicious activity.
By identifying these risks early, businesses can protect themselves from reputational damage or regulatory fines.
Additionally, once a business’s legal data is pulled from the SOS database, it’s automatically cross-checked against other KYB criteria, including sanctions lists, adverse media, and tax ID verification directly from IRS records.
Ciulde adds: “Our goal is to provide businesses with the tools they need to stay compliant while maintaining speed. Access to Secretary of State records was the missing link in many onboarding processes.
“Now, we finally automated that link and made it part of the same dashboard used for identity checks.”
