Secretary of state

Definition

The state office that holds a state’s business entity and UCC filing records, and the office a UCC-1 is filed with.

Also called SOS · State filing office

Every state runs its own, with its own fees, formats and rules, and there is no national UCC register behind them. What each will sell in bulk varies just as much, from free open data to a signed subscription agreement negotiated one office at a time.
