How to Search For New York State Business Licensing Information
1. Begin your New York business license search by visiting the New York
Secretary of State�s website (http://www.dos.state.ny.us/).
2. When you arrive at the homepage, you will see several links and
website menus for the NYSOS website on both the left and right sides of
the page. You will need to look for the NYSOS website menu located on
the right side of the page.
3. On this site menu, there will be three different sections: �Latest
News�, �Quick Links�, and �Features�. You will need the look under the
�Quick Links� section.
4. There will be several different links under this section, but the one
you will want to look for is labeled �Search for Licensees and
Registrants�.
5. From there, you will be taken to the Index of Licensees and
Registrants page, where you can perform your search one of three ways:
by ID number, by name, or by business name.
By ID Number: Using this option, you can search using a businesses
unique ID or registration number.
By Name: Using this option, you can search using the first and last name
of a person associated with a business, as well as the optional choice
of refining your search by city, zip code, or county.
By Business Name: Using this option, you can search using a business�s
name, as well as the optional choice of refining your search by city,
zip code, or county.
6. All three of these searches will transport you to a page where your
search results will be listed. These results will include all business
registered in New York that match your search criteria. The listing will
include each businesses ID number, name, city, license type, and when
the license expires.
7. To find out more information on a listed business, click their ID
number. This will take you to a page of details specifically for that
company. These details may include the company�s ID number, the name,
the business name, business address, county, license type, and when the
