Registry number, entity type, registry date, principal place of business, and registered agent, from the Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division open-data file (active entities only), plus the EIN and federal filings where they exist.
What only the state can tell you
Inactive and dissolved records, filing history, and anything filed since the file date. Oregon publishes active entities only, so an entity missing here may be inactive or dissolved; the official business search says which.
Three numbers, three agencies
Asking for the wrong number is a common reason a search comes back empty.
| Number | Issued by | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|
| Federal EIN | Internal Revenue Service | Identifies the business for federal tax. It is the same number in every state. |
| Registry number | Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division | Identifies the entity's record in the state registry. Digits, a hyphen, then two check digits (for example 087399-14 for Nike, Inc.; newer numbers are seven digits before the hyphen, such as 1496294-95). |
| Oregon Department of Revenue account / Business Identification Number (BIN) | Oregon Department of Revenue | State tax accounts are kept by the Department of Revenue and differ from both the federal EIN and the Secretary of State registry number. |
