Delaware Corporations Entity Search Scraper

Search the Delaware Division of Corporations registry by entity name and retrieve the free public record for each match — file number, entity kind, residency, registered agent name, and full registered agent address.

Delaware is the default incorporation state for over 60% of Fortune 500 companies, most VC-backed startups, and a large share of PE/VC SPVs. Every KYC, due-diligence, cap-table verification, and counterparty-screening workflow that touches a US entity inevitably touches the Delaware registry.

Incorporation date, entity type, state of incorporation, and status sit behind the Delaware portal's paid tier and are not returned by this actor — they are not part of the output schema.

How to use

1. Set Search Terms to a list of entity names you want to look up. Entities whose name contains the term are returned — e.g. searching "Apple" also returns "AG Apple Holdings, LP".
2. Set Max Items to cap the total number of entities returned across all search terms.
3. Run the actor. Each entity matching a search term appears as a separate dataset row, tagged with the search term that found it.

Use cases

• KYC / AML screening — Verify that a counterparty is a legitimate registered Delaware entity and identify its registered agent before onboarding.
• Due diligence — Confirm entity kind (Corporation vs. LLC vs. LP) and current agent registration as part of a deal workflow.
• Cap table auditing — Cross-check SPV and holding company names in a cap table against the official state registry.
• Bulk entity lookup — Provide a list of company names and receive their file numbers and agent details in one batch run.

Notes

• The Delaware Division of Corporations applies rate limits to prevent automated scraping. For high-volume runs, keep search term batches small and spread runs over time.
• The actor returns the free public view of the Delaware registry. Incorporation date, entity type, state of incorporation, and status sit behind the state's paid portal and are not available.
