The Arizona Secretary of State, Business Services Division (SOSAZ) maintains the database of over two hundred thousand liens for the state of Arizona. These liens are continuously updated through the process of filing Uniform Commercial Code documents (UCC) at the SOSAZ, where they are imaged and keyed into the UCC system. The UCC filings and most images of the filings are accessible, and completely searchable, to the public via the Internet at http://www.azsos.gov.
The UCC Filing Index (UCCFI) from the SOSAZ contains a complete index of all UCC documents on file at SOSAZ. Because of the enormity of the request, only the information in the index can be readily sold to the public, not the images. The information is the same information presented in the UCC Monthly Filing Index UCCMI.
The UCC Monthly Filing Index (UCCMI) from the SOSAZ typically contains over five thousand records of UCC documents filed and keyed at the SOS in a given month. The index is published on 2nd of each month, 12 times a year. The UCCMI contains the TIFF images (indexed) of the filings along with four informational files: Filing.txt, Lien.txt, Debtor.txt and Secparty.txt. The UCCMI contains therein:
- UCC documents filed with the Arizona Secretary of State
- Date filed and entered
- Lien status for affected filings
- Current Debtors and Secured Parties for the filing (i.e. shows the amended data if exists, does not show the things removed by amendments)
Note: Collateral is NOT entered into the UCC system and therefor is NOT available.
Since UCC documents are continuously filed, SOS can only guarantee the veracity of the file on its issuance date. Requests for the data must be done in writing and must be accompanied by a check or money order.
Six versions are available.
