UCC FILING REQUIREMENTS
The following are policies which the UCC Section follows in the processing of documents. Documents which are processed by the UCC Section include the following:
- Financing Statement (UCC-1)
- Financing Statement Change (UCC-3)
- Request for information (UCC-11)
- Federal Tax Lien
- Transmitting Utilities
- Bulk Transfers
- Racketeering Liens
If submitting a combination of documents (multiple filings), the request must be accompanied with a letter of instruction. Outline the sequence of processing and include which type of expedited you are using, if any.
All checks must be made payable to the Delaware Secretary of State and must be in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. Bank. No UCC filings will be accepted without sufficient payment.
To ensure that your document is returned to the appropriate address, it is recommended to submit your UCC request using a Cover Memo which is available in PDF format.
Acknowledgment copies are mailed to the client who has submitted the document. If no return name is listed on the form, acknowledgment will be returned to the first active secured party on record. Acknowledgments will be returned by the office for all filings processed. Additional acknowledgment copies will be treated as an UCC-11 request and charged accordingly.
