If searching for UCCs filed against an entity, you would need to start by searching the name used on the public organic record, usually the articles of formation. If searching for UCCs filed against an individual, you can start with the name on the individual’s driver’s license, but it may also be necessary to search any name the individual has used. Ancillary liens do not fall under these same rules and could in turn be filed under any variety of similar names. To help our clients combat this, we offer database searches for similar names in some jurisdictions to potentially reveal similar names, name variations, or even filing office rekeying errors.
