How to search Indiana UCC records

  1. Open UCC Browse on INBiz.
  2. Choose "Filing Number", "Debtor Name", or "Secured Party Name" and enter your search.
  3. Use "Advanced Search Options" to filter by status, filing date, or lapse date.
  4. For an official result, buy a UCC Search Certificate by debtor name or file number from the INBiz search menu.

Good to know in Indiana: UCC Browse is free and shows filing images, but it isn't an official search. A certificate search matches only the exact name you enter, not nicknames, misspellings, or assumed names, so browse first to find the right debtor name.

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.

Yes. Searching Indiana UCC records online is free.

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

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 Indiana 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.
