4) Fill out Form UCC-1
You may file a UCC-1 form in any State. Realize not all States accept the UCC-1 form the way we have you prepare it. In the interest of making this process as easy as possible, we
recommend that you file your UCC-1 in Washington State. This State has never presented a problem to our clients that have filed there. Some other UCC-1 friendly states are: NV,
CO, NM, OH. You have the option of filing a National UCC-1 form, or a Washington form. The National form with the “transmitting utility” checked (see example) on the Addendum page is good for your lifetime. Washington’s state form offers the ability for your UCC-1 to be registered for your lifetime when the “transmitting utility” is checked (see example). Regardless of the form you file they both provide the same protection. If time is of the essence, you can fax your filing to Washington State. They can file your UCC-1 in about 2 hours. Mailing in your UCC-1 form takes anywhere from 1 week to 1 month.

6) Filing the UCC-1

Gathering your filing protocol:
•How much to pay
•How to pay
•How to get it there
•Where to send it

Before you send off your UCC-1 filing, you should call the Secretary of State’s office you are filing with and find out the fees required for filing. Be sure to tell them that the UCC Financing Statement will have an attachment included in the filing. Ask if there will be an additional fee for the attachment pages, additional debtors or additional names. You will have to include a money order or check when mailing your filing, or a credit card number if faxing in your filing. The filing can be sent via regular mail, but for faster service you can mail it priority mail. For a faster return, you may also want to enclose a smaller priority mail return envelope (postage paid). You may fax in your filing, or you can take it to the Secretary of State’s office or County Recorder’s office in person. Prepare to answer any questions they come up with. Typically, they will wonder about the “All Capitals Printed Signature” of the debtor (you can tell them, that is the signature of the debtor). Also they might ask what you are doing by filing this form. The truth is, you are “perfecting a security interest in a fictional corporation (strawman) created by the state and federal governments (by means of your birth certificate) when you were born.”
