# Arkansas

Company data from the Arkansas business register, through the Topograph API.

> **Beta**: this country is in early development. Some datapoints or documents may be missing, the integration may be unstable, prices may change without notice, and it is not covered by SLAs.

## Overview

Topograph reads Arkansas Secretary of State and returns the company profile, legal representatives and other key persons of Arkansas companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |
| Legal representatives | Yes |
| Other key persons | Yes |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | No |
| Financials | No |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Arkansas SoS Entity Detail

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 2 s in prefill mode and 3 s in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.

## Sources

The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.

- **[Arkansas Secretary of State](https://sos-corp-search.ark.org/corps)**: Official Arkansas Secretary of State business entity register served through the public Business & Commercial Services portal. The portal supports search by entity name, fictitious name, and filing number and exposes legal name, filing number, entity type, filing status, filing date, principal address, registered agent and address, officers (when available), and state of origin for foreign entities. The detail page is printable and re-used as the Trade Register Extract.
