				information management system. A record is created in the information
				management system for each initial financing statement and all information
				comprising a record is maintained in the system. The record is identified by
				the same information assigned to the initial financing statement.
2. A unique filing number assigned by the
				filing officer identifies a UCC record other than an initial financing
				statement. In the information management system, records of all UCC records,
				other than initial financing statements, are linked to the record of their

Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 15 - ELECTED OFFICIALS › Division 30 - Secretary of State › Chapter 90 - Uniform Commercial Code › Section 15 CSR 30-90.210 - Searches

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule details the content of search
				  requests and responsibility of the filing officer in regard to
				  searches.
(1) The filing
				officer shall maintain a searchable index of all Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)
				records for public inspection. The index shall allow retrieval of a record by
				the name of the debtor and by the file number of the initial financing
				statement, and each filed UCC record relating to the initial financing
				statement.
(2) A search request
				must be submitted on the National UCC-11 Information Request form and shall
				contain the information required by this section. The searcher must provide a
				separate UCC-11 form for each debtor name to be searched.
(3) Search requests shall contain the
				following information:
(A) The name of the
				debtor to be searched, specifying whether the debtor is an individual or an
				organization. A search request shall be processed using the name in the exact
				form it is submitted;

Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 15 - ELECTED OFFICIALS › Division 30 - Secretary of State › Chapter 90 - Uniform Commercial Code › Section 15 CSR 30-90.220 - Search Logic

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule explains the method through which
				  the filing officer shall conduct searches.
(1) Search results shall be produced by
				applying standardized search logic to the name presented to the filing officer.
				Human judgment does not play a role in determining the results of the search,
				except with respect to supplemental responses regarding individual debtor names
				that are not automated. The following guidelines apply to searches:
(A) There is no limit to the number of
				matches that may be returned in response to the search criteria;
(B) The characters searched are letters "a"
				through "z" and numbers "0" through "9" and all other characters are
				disregarded;
(C) No distinction is
				made between upper and lower case letters;
(D) Punctuation marks, accents and suffixes
				are disregarded;
(E) Words and
				abbreviations at the end of a name that indicate the existence or nature of an
				organization are disregarded in the search. Such words include, but are not
				limited to: association, bank, church, college, company, corporation, club,
				foundation, fund, incorporated, institute, limited, society, syndicate, trust,
				union, limited partnership, L P, limited liability company, LLC, limited
				liability partnership, LLP, or like words or abbreviations of the foregoing.
				These words and abbreviations are set forth in the "Ending Noise Words" list as
				promulgated and adopted by the International Association of Commercial
				Administrators (IACA);
(F) The
				words "a" and "the" at the beginning of the search criteria are
				disregarded;
(G) All spaces are
				disregarded;
(H) For first and
				middle names of individuals, initials are treated as the logical equivalent of
				all names that begin with such initials, and the first name and no middle name
				or initial is equated with all middle names and initials. For example, a search
				request for "John A. Smith" would cause the search to retrieve all filings
				against all individual debtors with "John" or the initial "J" as the first
				name, "Smith" as the last name, and with the initial "A" or any name beginning
				with "A" in the middle name field or no name or initial in the middle name
				field. Additionally, a search request for "John Smith" (first and last names
				with no designation in the middle name field), would cause the search to
				retrieve all filings against individual debtors with "John" or the initial "J"
				as the first name, "Smith" as the last name and any name or initial or no name
				or initial in the middle name; and
(I) The word "and" and the symbol "&" are
				equated with each other.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule specifies the contents of search
				  reports.
(1) Reports created
				in response to a search request shall include the following:
(A) Identification of the filing officer and
				the certification of the search report if requested;
(B) The date the report was
				generated;
(C) Identification of
				the name searched;
(D) If requested
				the certification date and time for which the search is effective;
(E) Identification of each financing
				statement, that has not lapsed, filed on or prior to the certification date and
				time corresponding to the search criteria, by name of debtor, by financing
				statement file number, and by file date and file time. If requested by the
				searcher and available on the index, lapsed filings will be identified on the
				search report;
(F) For each initial
				financing statement on the report, a listing of all related Uniform Commercial
				Code (UCC) records filed by the filing officer on or prior to the certification
				date; and
(G) The number of pages
				of all UCC records revealed by the search report that may be requested by the
				searcher.
