How to search Georgia UCC records

  1. Create a GSCCCA account and subscribe for online access. Free search terminals are in every clerk of superior court office.
  2. Open the UCC Index and choose "Basic Name Search", "File Number Search", "Daily Search" or "Secured Party Search".
  3. Enter the debtor's name and review the filings. The index can display and print the image of each UCC statement.
  4. For an official report, use "Certified Search Request" ($15 per debtor name).

Good to know in Georgia: Georgia doesn't file UCCs with the Secretary of State. You file with the clerk of superior court in any county, the clerk has 24 hours to send it to the GSCCCA, and the GSCCCA has 24 hours to add it to the statewide index.

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 Georgia UCC search free?

No. The state charges $15 (Certified search per debtor name. Normal turnaround is 24 hours).

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

$25. Paid to the clerk of superior court. $50 with an initial assignment.

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 Georgia 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.
