How current are your records on the internet? Our records on the internet are instantaneously updated as they are added to the database by the Division.

Names with “inactive” status have either a “good standing” or a “bad standing.” A company with an “inactive and bad standing” means that the company didn’t file an annual report for the year, or the registered agent has resigned, and a new agent hasn’t been appointed. If this is the case, then the State will administratively dissolve the corporation. A company with an “inactive status and good standing” means (1) the corporation filed articles of dissolution and is left in good standing; (2) the corporation changed their name; or (3) the corporation has merged into another corporation.
