Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) UCC records may be tendered for filing at
			 the UCC Division as follows:
1) Personal
			 delivery, at the UCC Division's street address. The file time for a UCC record
			 delivered by this method is when delivery of the UCC record is accepted by the
			 filing office (even though the UCC record may not yet have been accepted for
			 filing and subsequently may be rejected). The date and time of receipt are
			 stamped on the document or otherwise permanently associated with the record
			 maintained for a UCC document in the UCC information management
			 system.
2) Courier delivery, at the
			 UCC Division's street address. The file time for a UCC record delivered by this
			 method is, notwithstanding the time of delivery, the next close of business
			 following the time of delivery (even though the UCC record may not yet have
			 been accepted for filing and may be subsequently rejected). The date and time
			 of receipt are stamped on the document or otherwise permanently associated with
			 the record maintained for a UCC document in the UCC information management
			 system. A UCC record delivered after regular business hours or on a day the
			 filing office is not open for business, if not examined for processing sooner,
			 will have a filing time of the close of business on the next day the filing
			 office is open for business.
3)
			 Postal service delivery, to the filing office's mailing address. The file time
			 for a UCC record delivered by this method is the next close of business
			 following the time of delivery (even though the UCC record may not yet have
			 been accepted for filing and may be subsequently rejected). The date and time
			 of receipt are stamped on the document or otherwise permanently associated with
			 the record maintained for a UCC document in the UCC information management
			 system. A UCC record delivered after regular business hours or on a day the
			 filing office is not open for business will have a filing time of the close of
			 business on the next day the filing office is open for business.
4) The Secretary of State offers online
			 information and electronic filing and search services through the website of
			 the Secretary of State at
www.cyberdriveillinois.com
. The file
			 time for a UCC document delivered by this method is the time that the Secretary
			 of State's system analyzes the relevant transmission and determines that all
			 the required elements of the transmission have been received in a required
			 format and are machine-readable.
5)
			 The UCC Division filing office hours.
A) The
			 UCC Division business hours for personal delivery, courier delivery and postal
			 service delivery are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
			 holidays, in Springfield only.

			 per year, except for scheduled maintenance and unscheduled interruptions of
