Washington State Department of Licensing- News & Updates.
Changes to paper and online searches
We recently implemented several changes related to searching:
- We revised the UCC-11 search form and ask that you use this version when mailing a search request to our office. You don’t need a form when searching online.
- When you search online, you can no longer limit your search by a range of dates. This feature didn’t work well since search results must include all related records.
- We are now able to display very long names and addresses on the copy generated for viewing online or including in a copy search.
- If you search online by file number, we will display lapsed records still in our system.
- A search by debtor name now includes records that have no middle name or initial. For example, a search of “John Adam Smith” will include records filed on “John Smith.”
