We've upgraded our systems to better serve you. Office wait times will be longer than usual. We appreciate your patience as we change to this new system.

UCC updates

Changes to paper and online searches

We recently implemented several changes related to searching:

  • We revised the UCC-11 Information Request and ask that you use this version when mailing a search request to our office. You don't need a form when searching online.
  • When you search online, you can no longer limit your search by a range of dates. This feature didn't work well since search results must include all related records.
  • We're now able to display very long names and addresses on the copy generated for viewing online or including in a copy search.
  • If you search online by file number, we'll display lapsed records still in our system.
  • A search by debtor name now includes records that have no middle name or initial. For example, a search of "John Adam Smith" will include records filed on "John Smith."
