How to search Kansas UCC records

  1. Apply for an online UCC subscription account. Login instructions are emailed, generally within 2 to 3 business days.
  2. Log in to the online UCC system and run a UCCII debtor search by the debtor's correct legal name.
  3. Pay $10 per search, plus $1 per page for collateral images.
  4. Without an account, mail Form UCCII with the $20 paper fee.

Good to know in Kansas: Kansas requires a subscription account to search UCCs online, and each search is charged. A filing that gives only the debtor's trade name doesn't sufficiently name the debtor.

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.

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 Kansas business search guide first.
