How to search Arkansas UCC records

  3. Review the matching records.
  4. For an official result, complete the certified UCC-11 search linked on the same page.

Good to know in Arkansas: The page shows how current the data is (on November 8, 2026 it said documents were processed through November 7). It also warns that results may not show every matching record, so order a certified UCC-11 search when it matters.

Reading the results

Each result is a financing statement: a lender (the secured party) telling the public it has a claim on some of a business's property (the debtor's collateral). Open a filing to see who the lender is, when it was filed, when it lapses, and what property it covers. Later filings on the same record, such as amendments, continuations and terminations, show whether the claim is still live.

A filing usually lasts five years unless the lender continues it. A termination means the lender has released its claim. For more on what these filings mean, see what a UCC filing is and our UCC search guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Arkansas UCC search free?

Yes. Searching Arkansas UCC records online is free. An official or certified search costs $6.

How much does it cost to file a UCC-1 in Arkansas?

$16. Includes a $6 fee for the later termination. Same fee online and on paper.

What name should I search?

Search the debtor's exact legal name as it appears on its state business record, including "LLC" or "Inc." if your search needs it. Lenders file under that name, so a nickname or brand name can miss the filing. Check the name on our Arkansas business search guide first.

How long does a UCC filing last?

A financing statement generally lasts five years from the date it was filed. The lender can extend it by filing a continuation in the six months before it lapses.
