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.

What this actor returns

For each matching entity the actor returns:

Field	Description
entity_name	Full entity name as registered
file_number	Delaware Division of Corporations file number (unique identifier)
entity_kind	Entity kind: Corporation, Limited Liability Company, Limited Partnership, Statutory Trust, etc.
residency	Domestic or Foreign
state_of_incorporation	State/country where the entity was incorporated (from agent address data)
registered_agent_name	Name of the Delaware registered agent
registered_agent_address	Full address (street, city, state) of the registered agent
source_url	Direct URL to the entity information page

Note: Incorporation date, entity type, and status are only available via the paid Delaware portal and are not returned by this actor. Those fields appear in the schema as empty strings.

How to use

1. Set Search Terms to a list of entity names you want to look up. Partial name matches are returned — e.g. searching "Apple" returns entities whose name starts with "Apple".
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.

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 captures the free public view of the Delaware registry. Paid fields (status, incorporation date, annual report history) are not extracted.
