UCC lien search

Pick a state registry to browse its UCC-1 financing statements, or search a debtor name to jump straight to a filing number, its collateral and secured party. Coverage spans every US state, DC, Puerto Rico and Canada; each registry links its filings back to the debtor’s company profile.

These registries aren’t loaded yet — they are listed rather than given estimates. For UCC filings there, use the state’s official UCC search; the company registers for these states are live.

Run a UCC lien search free, from either end: search a debtor’s exact legal name above, or open the company profile — every profile lists the UCC financing statements that name it as debtor, with filing number, filing and lapse dates, collateral and the secured party, next to the registered agent, registrations, licenses and federal records. A free account adds a watchlist, so a new financing statement against a company you follow reaches you. Create an account or see plans.

A UCC-1 is the public notice a creditor files under the Uniform Commercial Code — the Article 9 form used in a secured transaction to protect a creditor’s rights against collateral. It is filed with the secretary of state, usually where the debtor is organized: its state of incorporation for an organization, or state of residence for an individual. The record must give an accepted indication of the debtor, the secured party and the collateral; accurate debtor identification is what makes the filing effective, though minor errors can stand if they are not seriously misleading. The debtor may be a person or an organization.

Liens can name a specific type of collateral — vehicles, office equipment — or run as a blanket lien over all business assets. Once a security interest is perfected, its filing time and order fix priority against other creditors until the lapse date. UCC-3 filings amend, continue or terminate an earlier record, which changes the status shown in search results. If the debtor defaults, the secured party may take and sell the collateral to recover value. Netstate reads the state registries, so a UCC lien search returns the debtor name, secured party, collateral and filing number as each registry publishes them — a search reveals whether a company’s assets are already pledged as collateral, with the registered agent and company profile alongside the financing statement.
