State & County UCC Lien Searches

All American Document Services performs exhaustive Universal Commercial Code (UCC) searches, Revised Article 9 (RA9) compliant searches, and Lien Searches to ensure that collateral used to secure loans have no other lien filed against them. Our searches include, but are not limited to:

UCC Search

Experienced researchers on our team provide accurate records and deliver them faster than anyone else.

Tax Liens

We search all liens of record including but not limited to state, federal, and county clerks’ offices.

Judgment Liens/Other Liens

This search reports all of the judgment liens and any other lien on a given target name and/or property in the county recorders offices.

Mechanic Liens

These are also known as Construction liens and they are valid for one year. It is prudent to know if they exist as a foreclosure could be filed within the year the lien is active.

EPA/ERISA

All American Document Services searches county recorders offices for the Environmental Protection Agency liens (EPA) for any violations against the target name as well as Employee Retirement Income Security Act liens (ERISA).

Bankruptcy Searches

Bankruptcy searches at U.S. Bankruptcy Courts assist in the evaluation of a debtor’s credit risk. Our researchers have worked in the bankruptcy clerk’s offices and are experienced with the nuances of various search systems. We can obtain bankruptcy records quickly and provide them in the format you require.

Federal & State Civil Litigation Research

We search to make sure that the target/subject has no pending lawsuits, as well as to identify and report prior actions on record.

We understand the needs of paralegals and attorneys, and that’s why our litigation support team is specifically trained to provide customized searches, detailed reporting, and delivery of results within predetermined timelines.

Case And Lien Monitoring

Include case monitoring for all your updates. All American Document Services provides debtor and business entity monitoring services that keep you informed of changes in entity names; mergers, dissolutions, and loss of good standing; and terminated UCC filings that could negatively affect your clients. We search and verify filings every single day to ensure full diligence and provide instant digital alerts when changes are made.

Patriot Act / Ofac Search

Nearly any business, real estate, financial, or insurance-related transaction has the potential to violate the Patriot Act and/or OFAC Regulations. These laws are designed to prevent people from supporting or conducting business (knowingly or unknowingly) with a sanctioned individual or institution. Civil and criminal penalties for these violations can be severe and can be levied against individuals as well as institutions. The responsibility is on you to know who you are conducting business with and whether they are not on the OFAC SDN list. All American Document Services has extensive experience providing Patriot Act and OFAC Searches, which are both essential steps in the due diligence process.

Retrieval, Preparation, Filing & Recording

Lenders, banks, corporations, and legal professionals rely on certified public records to do business, yet many courthouses across the country are ill-equipped or untrained to provide them quickly and in good order. We recognized the market need and developed a network of trusted vendors and a platform that streamlines document delivery online.

UCC Preparation and Filing

We provide creditors and businesses with UCC filing support and delivery to the office of the secretary of state or Local County offices. Our staff works tirelessly to understand how each state interprets the UCC and how that affects any given filing.

Corporate Searches & Document Retrieval

Our experienced public records specialists are on hand, ready to obtain certified copies or original documents from any filing agency, secretary of state office, or courthouse in the country, including from the federal, state and appellate courts. We search for and retrieve a variety of corporate documents including, but not limited to:

• Entity Name Check
• Name Availability / Reservation Fictitious / Assumed Name Search
• Corporate Formation and Dissolution Partnership Search
• Trademark Search
• Certificate of Good Standing
• Articles of Incorporation
• Amendments and Merger Documents
• Annual Filings
• Tax Status Certificates

• Vital records
• Complaints, Answers, Motions, Pleadings, Briefs, and Dispositions

Recording And Publishing

All American Document Services can record and publish your bulk sale notices and fictitious name statements.

Registered Agent Services

As registered agents, we receive process service on behalf of companies and corporations, becoming a trusted third-party source for process of service summons. If legal action is filed against you or your business in any state, in any jurisdiction, we receive the notice first. This offers a variety of benefits. Having a registered agent can protect you from embarrassing court summons at your place of employment. Plus, we develop contingency plans that spring into action the moment a process of service occurs: we’ll know all the details, who to contact and what they need to know.

All American Document Services can handle all your licensing and permitting needs, so you can work on what you do best. When you order our Business License Compliance Services we immediately work on identifying your business’ specific license, permit, and tax registration requirements.

Negative News Search

A Negative News Search isn’t simply a Google search. Our expert researchers find any instance where the entered name or entity appears in the same paragraph as any negative term. We research:

• Traditional news outlets
• New media, including social media and blogs
• High risk business registrations
• Papers published by nonprofit watchdogs (Panama Papers, for example)
• Regulatory filings and databases

Our services allow businesses, individuals, attorneys and AML professionals to quickly and conveniently view all publicly available relevant risk information about any individual or company. These searches are also referred to as “adverse media searches”.
