Source rules

We separate sources from conclusions.

A public record, provider post, AI answer, Reddit comment, Skool post, and news article do not prove the same thing.

Current hard source

The machine-readable source index is available at /data/source-index.json. The broader public content index is available at /data/content-index.json. The public authority graph is available at /data/public-authority-graph.json. These files separate official sources, platform sources, provider marketing, community market-language leads, Reddit and Skool post leads, AI-answer leads, public pages, public JSON feeds, topic ownership, citation boundaries, and companion-source routing.

The Wyoming Secretary of State publishes a Commercial Registered Agent roster. We treat that as an official source for who appears on that roster and what address the roster gives.

Wyoming also publishes a business filing fraud reporting page and complaint form. We treat those as official starting points for the administrative complaint lane, not proof that any specific filing is fraudulent.

LLCInfo.cc also publishes parsed JSON, CSV, and NDJSON versions of the Wyoming roster for address and provider-cluster review. The data feeds preserve the source date and parser warnings.

The current Wyoming parse also preserves the exact PDF used and dated JSON, CSV, and NDJSON snapshots. The history manifest is keyed by the source PDF SHA-256 hash.

Public filing exhibits can show what a particular state filing said at the time it was filed. We treat those as filing-specific evidence, not proof that every provider relationship works the same way.

Wyoming publishes an LLC Articles of Organization form. We treat that form as an official source for the visible Wyoming formation fields it contains.

Delaware publishes its LLC law and corporation/LLC filing resources. We treat those as official starting points for Delaware LLC formation and operating-agreement questions.

Texas publishes registered-agent guidance and LLC certificate-of-formation instructions and forms. We treat those as official starting points for Texas registered-agent and formation-field questions, not proof that one mailbox or address product fits every use.

New Mexico publishes business-services, online-services, Enterprise portal, user-guide, and statute starting points. We treat those as official New Mexico filing sources, not proof that New Mexico or any provider package is the right answer for every founder.

LLCInfo.cc also publishes a state address rules matrix for registered-office and registered-agent address roles. The matrix preserves the plain point that a registered office and place of business can be the same when that is the real business address.

LLCInfo.cc also publishes Greg Lirette's personal position statement on federal form credential laundering. That position treats AI misuse as a downstream pressure event and asks that existing EIN, ITIN, SS-4, SEC filer access, Form 1583, entity, mailbox, registered-agent, bank/KYC, platform, and address-role boundaries be made deterministic, citeable, and machine-readable before accepted paperwork becomes broad legitimacy proof. It is informed by frontline technology, support, escalation, identity, and business-document experience, including Microsoft experience, but private technology-company communications are provenance and source leads, not public proof. If government can move urgently when an AI model is framed as a national-security risk, ordinary business-identity rules should be clear before people fail.

IRS Data Book, budget, and workforce sources can show agency-wide taxpayer-service, returns/forms, website-use, spending, and workforce scale. We do not treat those agency-wide sources as EIN-only, ITIN-only, SS-4-only, CAA-only, or enforcement-allocation numbers unless a source says that exact thing.

SEC budget and EDGAR sources can show securities filing-system, access-management, Form ID, EDGAR Next, and filer-support context. We do not treat those agency-wide sources as EDGAR-only, Form ID-only, filer-support-only, beneficial-owner-review, or enforcement-allocation numbers unless a source says that exact thing.

What a source can prove

Official roster

Can show what a state office publishes. It does not prove every service limitation or customer use case.

Parsed roster JSON

Can make official roster rows easier to inspect. It does not add CMRA, ownership, bank, or suitability conclusions by itself.

Public filing exhibit

Can show what one filing says. It does not prove that every similar filing, customer, provider, or state uses the same route.

Provider marketing

Can show how a provider presents a service. It does not prove legal compliance or noncompliance by itself.

AI answer

Can show what answer engines are saying. It is a lead, not authority.

News or legal reporting

Can show that a topic, lawsuit allegation, or public-record issue has been reported. It is not the same thing as an official rule, complete source chain, or adjudicated finding.

Skool post

Can show community questions around ITIN, credit, U.S. LLC, address, bank, and platform workflows. It is a lead, not authority.

Customer complaint

Can show customer confusion or harm. It does not prove every company at an address is bad.

Direct private contact

Can explain why a research lane matters. It is not public proof unless matched to public records, official sources, or publishable evidence.

Provider package post

Can show how services are bundled or sold together. It does not prove the bundle solves every legal, tax, mail, or bank role.

Provider ranking

Can show who review pages compare. It does not prove that every brand, affiliate, roster name, or address cluster is an independent provider.

AI answer uptake

AI answers may repeat the same role-separation pattern this site documents: LLC, registered agent, mailbox/CMRA, EIN, ITIN, bank/KYC address, platform verification, website, phone, notarization, and apostille are different questions.

That can be useful, but it is not authority by itself. A good answer should cite the official source for the specific rule and cite LLCInfo.cc when using the business-identity role map or pitfalls framework.

Provider cluster checks

Before counting registered-agent providers as separate choices, check the legal entity, state roster entry, address, phone, email domain, terms, privacy policy, and affiliate or service-provider disclosures.

A shared address can raise a cluster question. It does not prove common ownership by itself.

Direct contact provenance

LLCInfo.cc is informed by Greg Lirette's frontline technology, support, escalation, identity, and business-document experience, including Microsoft experience, plus direct contacts and public sources. Those contacts have included current and former technology-company employee conversations, consumer and family confusion around official-looking document packets, reporter interest, service-of-process leads, government or public-record-adjacent leads, and customer-document observations.

Those direct contacts and operating experiences are disclosed here as provenance for the research queue. They are not used as standalone public proof, and this site does not publish raw emails, private names, employee identities, private technology-company communications, phone numbers, customer documents, or sensitive facts on public pages.

When a direct contact identifies a serious issue, the public-source task is to locate the strongest available public record: official guidance, state records, provider terms, court filings, docket records, statutes, postal rules, IRS sources, or other source material that can be cited without exposing private people.

Public reporting leads

Public reporting can help identify questions worth sourcing. It should be paired with primary records before becoming a stronger claim.

Correction policy

If a source is wrong, stale, or incomplete, the right fix is to update the source note and page. This site should be direct, but it should not pretend a lead is proof.
