How to search Idaho UCC records

  1. Open the SOSBiz Liens Search.
  2. Enter the debtor name. Results are limited, so use "Advanced Search Options" to narrow them.
  3. Click the "View History" icon to check whether a UCC has been terminated.
  4. To buy detailed results, log in and click "Purchase Search". Certified searches are on the copy forms page.

Good to know in Idaho: A filed Termination doesn't change the status shown on a UCC Financing Statement, so check "View History" before assuming a lien is still in force.

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 Idaho UCC search free?

Yes. Searching Idaho UCC records online is free. An official or certified search costs $12.

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

$6. $6 for a paper record of one or two pages, $12 for more pages. The statute sets $3 for records sent by another medium the filing office authorizes.

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 Idaho 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.
