How to search Missouri UCC records

  1. Open the UCC Online Portal and create an account or log in. An account is required for any UCC search.
  2. Search by debtor name or file number.
  3. Order a certified search online if you need one. The fee schedule lists $27 for a UCC-11 search.

Good to know in Missouri: Missouri requires an online account for every UCC search, not just filings. Financing statements last five years and can be continued for five more.

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 Missouri UCC search free?

No. The state charges $27 (UCC-11 search, plus $1 per page for copies. Certified searches can be done online).

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

$10. Online filing, plus a convenience fee. Paper UCC-1 filings are $17 plus $1 per page of attachments.

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 Missouri 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.
