Why the fee shown may not be the final total
The table shows the captured standard initial UCC1 basis under the stated channel. Additional pages, debtor names, addenda, special public-finance or transmitting-utility designations, card fees, searches, copies, certifications, expedited service, and county recording can change the total.
Public search, copies, and certified searches are different products
Some states provide free public debtor-name or filing-number searches. An official UCC11 response, certified search, copies, images, or bulk access can require a separate account, form, or fee. Each state guide links to the official search destination and states the main limitation captured during verification.

Frequently asked questions
State UCC directory answers
Can I file a UCC record on this website?
No. Use the official state filing service linked in the applicable state guide.
Are UCC filing fees the same nationwide?
No. Standard filing fees, debtor and page surcharges, payment fees, searches, copies, and local fixture-filing charges vary.
Is a free UCC search the same as a certified UCC11 search?
No. A public web search may be free while an official certified search response, copies, or images can require a separate request and fee.
How long is a UCC financing statement effective?
A standard filing is commonly effective for five years, but special transactions and statutory liens can use different periods and rules.
Does every UCC filing go to the Secretary of State?
No. Some jurisdictions use another state department, a delegated provider, a cooperative authority, or local real-property recording offices for specific collateral.
