Check your name across state UCC portals

Enter a name once. For Alaska and Alabama, open a link that already runs the search. For about half the country, open the real search page with your name copied so you only have to paste. Everywhere else, get honest instructions — not a broken button.

What this tool does not do: LienGuardAI never retrieves, displays, collects, or saves UCC search results. Your name stays in this browser session (and on your clipboard when you choose to copy it). Checkmarks for progress are stored only on this device. Official results live only on each state's site. See Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Use.

Alabama often wants Last, First for individuals (e.g. SMITH, JANE). Try that format if results look off.

How the three modes work

1Instant results — Alaska and Alabama accept the name in the URL. Clicking opens their portal with the search already run. No other state passed a live deep-link test.
2Open & paste — Free search pages that don't reliably pre-fill from a link. One click opens the real form and copies your name so you can paste.
3Manual only — Login walls, paid searchers, broken URLs, or no verified portal. Instructions say what to do instead of offering a fake shortcut.

If you find a filing, use your state's guidance page for what to do next — refusal, termination, or court paths differ by state. This checker only helps you get to the search faster.
