Lien Release on a UCC

Business Equipment, Business Property, etc. please provide us with the following required document(s):
  • A copy of the UCC Financing Statement for the property that you are requesting to be released. The copy must be readable and clearly show the Debtor's Name and Address, the Name of the Secured Party, the Filing Number for the UCC and any subsequent Amendments and/or Continuations


  • If a copy of the original UCC Filing has been lost or is unavailable, you'll have to request a printout from the Secretary of State containing this information, and forward it to us.
It is highly suggested you also provide the following documents, if available:
  • Proof that the loan was paid in full. Proof of Payoff may include such things as a copy of a "PAID" Note, copies of payment checks, or anything else that would indicate payment. This will greatly reduce the amount of research time and expedite our handling of your request.
A request for a Release of Lien must be made in writing.

Mail, email or fax your request with the required documentation to the appropriate DRR Customer Service Center. Please do not do both. Hard to read documents should be mailed or sent overnight, rather than faxed. Unreadable documents cannot be processed. To avoid any duplication, please submit your request only once.

Be sure to include your address and phone number with your written request.

Please allow 14 business days for the completion of your request.

If you have any questions you may call the appropriate DRR Customer Service Center toll-free. A Customer Service Representative will be happy to answer your questions, OR, refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.
