The state's own search is at web.sos.ky.gov. Free online search. Certified search results cost $5; copies are $0.50 a page.
- Open the Fast Track UCC search at web.sos.ky.gov/ftucc.
- Type the debtor's full organization name, or a person's surname and first name, or a file number.
- For a partial match, end the name with % (for example bluegrass%); that search is not certified.

Kentucky specifics
01
The online search covers the Secretary of State's complete UCC index and updates as filings are made, but its results are not certified.
02
The online search works by debtor name or file number only, so Clerkfield searches Kentucky liens by debtor, not by lender.
03
Kentucky sells all UCC filings as bulk data for $1,500 a month, with filing images for $300 a month.
04
Social Security numbers are withheld from the search under Kentucky's open records law.
Check the business behind the lien

Kentucky business search-
No. The Fast Track UCC search is free around the clock. If you need certified results, they cost $5 through the UCC information request form.
-
A partial-name search made by adding % to the name. It finds similar names that the standard exact-name search misses, but its results cannot be certified.
-
Not online. The state's search works by debtor name or file number; lender names appear in the results. Clerkfield's Kentucky lien search is by debtor too.
-
It updates as filings are made, and the results page says which date it covers. Clerkfield reads it live at each search.
