hi,
I have a few questions regarding Business Entity Information.
I made an online search on a coorporation(nevada secretary of state online database). The online report lists officers and shares allocated.
Firstly, does an online search admisable in court?
If not, how do I get an official report?
Secondly, I called the man who was listed as Treasurer and Secretary and he told me that he was merely a sales person and was never an officer for that corporation.
Is that legal to register someone as an officer without his consent?
If not, what rule does it violates?
(just to mention this man was not the first one who was listed wihtout consent)

Visit your secretary of state by selecting your state in this link. The Sec. of state has there FAQs perhaps it can help.

You can contact the Secretary of State and get an official copy of the corporate filings. The contact information is on the webpage.
If someone is listed as an officer of the corporation and is actually not, that's at best false reporting and at worst potentially fraud. However, in the example you gave, if the person does actually work for the corporation, then he may not have any say over his job title. That becomes a tricky matter, best left to a licensed attorney to untangle.

You need to report this to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Also the business would be liable for libel if the non-consenting employee were to suffer any loss as a result of this.

You can do it.
