Official state business filing offices: phone & website directory

FormationHub is a private document-filing service — we are not your state's Secretary of State or business filing office. If you need to reach your state directly (to ask about an existing business, a state notice, or anything we didn't file for you), here is the official business-filings contact for every state.

Sourced from official state websites (linked below), verified July 2026. States change fees and timelines without notice — when in doubt, the official state site is the source of truth.
