Filing
Q1. How do I file a form?

- Click on the type of document that you need to file.

Q4. How do I pay for a filing?

For more information, see the payment FAQs.
Q5. What information should I have before I start a filing?
A5. Different information is required for each filing, and there may be additional information needed in order to create a document that is effective. Our system asks for the minimum information needed in order to file a
document, but your particular circumstances may call for information
above and beyond the minimum. You may want to refer to the statutes
relevant to your lien or seek legal advice.
The UCC filing system will walk you through the steps, and you will have the option to attach additional information, if needed.
For more information, see the Filing Office Rules.

A6. The following are filed with our office:

Q7. Do I have to have signatures on my filing?
A7. No. Signatures are not required.
Q8. How can I tell if my filing was successful?
A8. For all forms, the last step in the process is the payment. After your payment information has been accepted, you will see a confirmation page telling you that the filing was successful.
You can also verify that the filing is on record by searching for the debtor name in our system.
If you have a user account, you can check your filing activity to see which filings have been completed. Log in to your account, click on "My Account Home" in the menu on the left, then click on "View filing activity".
Q9. Do I have to file during business hours?
A9. No. Our filing system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week except during routine maintenance or scheduled service interruptions.
Q10. When is the system down for routine or scheduled maintenance?
A10. Maintenance is usually scheduled between 1:30 AM and 3:30 AM.
If you have started a filing before 1:30 AM, you will need
to complete it (payment submitted and accepted) before maintenance begins or
your task will be interrupted.
Scheduled service interruptions occur at the end of each calendar year. Notice of year-end service interruptions can be found on our news page.
