ITEM INSTRUCTIONS
A and B. To assist filing offices that might wish to communicate with filer, filer may provide information in item A and item B. These items are optional.
C. Provide name and address of requestor in item C. This item is NOT optional.
1. Debtor’s name. Enter only one Debtor name in item 1 -- either an organization's name (1a) or an individual’s name (1b). Enter Debtor's
correct
name. Do not abbreviate words that are not already abbreviated in the Debtor’s name.
1a. Organization Debtor Name. “Organization Name” means the name of an entity that is not a natural person. A sole proprietorship is not an organization,
even if the individual proprietor does business under a trade name. If Debtor is a registered organization (e.g., corporation, limited partnership,
limited liability company), it is advisable to examine Debtor’s current filed public organic records to determine Debtor's correct name. Trade name
is insufficient. If a corporate ending (e.g., corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company) is part of the Debtor’s name, it must be included.
Do not use words that are not part of the Debtor’s name.
1b. Individual Debtor Name. “Individual Name” means the name of a natural person; this includes the name of an individual doing business as a sole
proprietorship, whether or not operating under a trade name. The term includes the name of a decedent where collateral is being administered
by a personal representative of the decedent. The term does not include the name of an entity, even if it contains, as part of the entity’s name,
the name of an individual. Prefixes (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms.) and titles (e.g., M.D.) are generally not part of an individual name. Indications of lineage
(e.g., Jr., Sr., III) generally are not part of the individual’s name, but may be entered in the Suffix box. Enter individual Debtor’s surname (family
name) in Individual’s Surname box, first personal name in First Personal Name box, and all additional names in Additional Name(s)/Initial(s) box.
If a Debtor’s name consists of only a single word, enter that word in Individual’s Surname box and leave other boxes blank.
For both organization and individual Debtors. Do not use Debtor’s trade name, DBA, AKA, FKA, division name, etc. in place of or combined with
Debtor’s correct name; filer may add such other names as additional Debtors if desired (but this is neither required nor recommended).
2. Information Options.
2a. To request a "Listing Relating to Debtor at Specified City and State Only" check box 2a and enter the city, state, and country in item 2a. This type
of request will introduce a search criterion that narrows the scope of the search, which may result in an incomplete search (that fails to list all
filings against a named Debtor) and requestor may fail to learn information that might be of value.
2b-2d. Check appropriate box (2b, 2c, or 2d) to specify whether search response should include all copies, no copies or partial copies.
3. Specified Copies Only. To request specified copies only, check the "Specified Copies Only" box and provide the record number(s) as requested.
To request certified copies for record number(s) identified in item 3, also check the "Certified Copy Request" box.
4. Listing relating to Secured Party. To request a listing for a named Secured Party, check this box. Enter only one Secured Party name in item
4 -- either an organization's name (4a) or an individual's name (4b). If a specified city, state, and country is being requested (optional), enter that
Secured Party's address in item 4c.
5. Delivery Instructions. Unless otherwise instructed, filing office will mail information to the name and address in item C. Check appropriate box
(5a, 5b, or 5c) if optional delivery method is being requested.
5a. To request information to be faxed to the requestor, check the "FAX Delivery" box and provide fax number in specified area.
5b. To request information to be picked up from the filing office, check the "Pick Up" box.
5c. For other than mail, pick up or FAX, check the "Other" box and specify the other delivery method that is being requested. If requesting delivery
service, provide delivery service's name and requestor's account number to bill for delivery charge. Filing office will not deliver by delivery service
unless prepaid waybill or account number for billing is provided.
If requesting information from a county clerk filing office, contact county clerk to determine what services are offered by that office.
