Office of the Secretary of State Operations Division
The Operations Division records, files, or registers different types of records used in commerce such as partnership registrations, trademark/service mark registrations, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings, service of process on corporations, and agricultural liens. The Inspection of Public Records Act requires that records such as these be treated as public records and made available to the public. This office does not withhold these records from anyone that requests them nor does this office require that you hire someone to retrieve these records for you.
To better meet the requirements of the Inspection of Public Records Act, our office is continuously seeking methods to facilitate the dissemination of our records in a quicker and more efficient manner. Technology has provided us with excellent means to do so. Presently, we offer access to UCC filings on our web site. In the future, we will provide access to trademark/service mark registrations. In addition to access to the data base for these records, we will also provide TIF images of the actual filings as well. In short, we want you to have immediate access to these records by merely visiting our web site. Alternatively, you may write or phone our office and ask that copies of these public records be sent to you, for a small fee.
Our goal is to provide better service to you. Please contact us with any suggestions or recommendations that you have in this regard.
