INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICHIGAN INFORMATION REQUEST FORM UCC11

Please type or print this form. Be sure it is completely legible. Follow instructions completely. Carefully fill out this form;

mistakes may have important legal consequences. If you have questions, consult your attorney. The filing office cannot give

legal advice. When the form is complete, send the Filing Office Copy with required fee, to the filing office.

A. NAME & PHONE OF CONTACT: Name and phone number for the contact person is required.

ACCOUNT NUMBER: If you have an established Michigan Uniform Commercial Code billing account number, enter the

number in this box.

RETURN TO (Name and Address): The name and address of requestor is required.

SEARCH TYPE, EXPEDITED OR REGULAR: Mark the appropriate box. Expedited search fees are an additional $25,

per Debtor name. All fax or telephone search requests are processed as expedited and must include an account

number. Regular fees are $6 per Debtor name and must be submitted in person or by mail. Copy fees are $2 per page.

E. DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS, REGULAR MAIL, PICK UP or EXPRESS MAIL: Mark the appropriate box. Expedited

counter pick-ups are available after 3:00 p.m. For express mail, remember to give the express mail company name and

account number. If no box is checked, the search will be returned by regular mail.

1. DEBTOR NAME: Enter only one Debtor name in item 1. Enter Debtor’s correct name. Do not abbreviate. The Debtor

can be an organization or an individual, but not both. If you want to search both an organization and an individual who is

a principal, two search requests are needed.

1a. ORGANIZATION’S NAME: “Organization’s Name” means the name of an entity that is not a natural person.

A partnership is an organization; a sole proprietorship is not an organization, even if it does business under a trade

name. If the Debtor is a partnership, enter exact full legal name of the partnership; you do not need to enter names of

partners as additional Debtors. If Debtor is a registered organization, like a corporation, limited partnership, or limited

liability company, look at the Debtor’s currently filed public organic records to determine the correct name.

1b. INDIVIDUAL’S NAME: “Individual’s Name” means a natural person including a sole proprietorship, whether or not

operating under a trade name. An individual debtor name includes the name of a decedent where collateral is being

administered by a personal representative of the decedent. Individual debtor name does not include the name of an

entity, even if it contains, as part of the entity’s name, the name of an individual. Do not use prefixes like Mr., Mrs., or

Ms. Use suffix box only for titles of lineage like Jr., Sr., or III and not for other suffixes like M.D. Use a married woman’s

personal name like Mary Smith, not Mrs. John Smith. Enter individual Debtor’s family name or last name in the

Surname box, first given name in the First Personal Name box and all additional given names in the Additional

Name/Initial box. If a Debtor’s name consists of only a single word, enter the word in the Surname box and leave other

name boxes blank.

For both ORGANIZATION and INDIVIDUAL Debtors: Do not use trade names like DBA, AKA, FKA or the Division name

in place of or combined with Debtor’s correct name. For example, do not use “Simpson Motor Inc. DBA Cornelia Car

City” or “John Smith DBA Smith’s Coffee Shop”. Search results from such requests may not give financing statements

on file that use the correct name of the Debtor.

DOCUMENT OPTIONS: Check either the All or Unlapsed box. When the option “All” is marked, lapsed financing

statements are given for one year after the date the financing statement would have lapsed. When the option

“Unlapsed” is marked, only unlapsed financing statements are reported.

3. SEARCH OPTIONS: The Michigan Department of State UCC Office offers all the additional services listed in item 3.

Check the appropriate option or options. Include additional information, if applicable. To request an update search,

state “current” or “certification date” on the second line after box 3e. Check the second box after 3e to include copies of

related documents outside the time range specified. For examples, if this box is checked, for an amendment financing

statement filed within the time period specified, the related initial financing statement is included in the search results.

For certified seals, typically used in court proceedings, an additional fee is charged.
