A UCC-1 financing statement is filed with which office?

• A. Secretary of State
• B. County Clerk
• C. City Clerk
• D. Federal Registrar

Answer: (A)

A UCC-1 financing statement is a state-level filing to perfect a security interest in personal property. It is filed with the Secretary of State in the debtor’s state (in Colorado, the Colorado Secretary of State). This centralized filing creates a public, searchable record that establishes priority among creditors. County Clerks and City Clerks handle local property records and other functions, not UCC filings, and there is no Federal Registrar for these filings.
