Googling around gets me sites that want $29.95 to tell me who the officers of a Nevada corporation are.

Is there any way to get the information without paying a service (which is always suspect to me that they are going to keep coming back with nickle-and-dime charges).

Go directly to the secretary of state website for Nevada, officers are listed there.

I use the site all the time at work.

No problem. Not every SoS website lists out the officers (I really wish CA did, would make my life a lot easier!), but Nevada’s has really helped out over the years.

If it’s a public company that has to file with the SEC, you can just pull up the latest proxy statement as well (also includes compensation for each officer!!!).
