I can’t complete the business Verification because I am getting an error message when I try to fill out the “state business registration number” that says "invalid number. Must contain only letters, numbers, or hyphens. 6-25 characters long. must not be an EIN number or name of a state."
I have a document that shows my registration number as I have typed it out but it is not being recognized.
I got the number off of my document "Articles of Organization for a Limited Liability Company" that I got from my Secretary of State under my ID#.
Please help.

If you're receiving an "invalid number" message, first confirm you're entering your state business registration number exactly as it appears on your official registration documents (Articles of Organization for a Limited Liability Company document issued by the Secretary of State). This number is typically labeled as a Business Registration Number, Entity ID, File Number, or Identification Number.
Also, double-check that:
- The number contains only letters, numbers, or hyphens and is between 6–25 characters long, with no spaces.
- You're entering your state business registration number—not your EIN or the name of your state.
- The number matches the information on your state's Secretary of State website or other official business registration records.
If you're unsure which number to use, or if the number still isn't recognized, refer to your state's Secretary of State website or contact your state's business registration office for clarification.
