What this page can tell you

Registry status, entity ID, entity type, formation date, principal address, and registered agent, from the Colorado Secretary of State, Business and Licensing Division open-data file (every status, active and ended), plus the EIN and federal filings where they exist.

What only the state can tell you

Filing history, certificates of good standing, and anything filed since the file date. Delinquent means the entity exists but has not filed its periodic report; the file keeps it apart from Good Standing.

Three numbers, three agencies

Asking for the wrong number is a common reason a search comes back empty.

Federal EIN	Internal Revenue Service	Identifies the business for federal tax. It is the same number in every state.
ID number	Colorado Secretary of State, Business and Licensing Division	Identifies the entity's record in the state registry. 11 digits beginning with a 4-digit year (for example 20268181736 for a 2026 record). Records entered before the current system carry a 1987 prefix.
State tax account number	The state's tax agency	Issued separately for state taxes. It is not the EIN and not the registry number.
