NJ UCC Lien Search & Filing Scraper API - Debtor Lookup

Search New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filing records from the official NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services portal. Find source-reported active and lapsed records by organization name, individual debtor name, or filing number, then optionally enrich results with NJ business-entity data.

What data do you get?

Each found result includes:

Field	Description
setupStatus	found; explicit status records use no_match or source_unavailable
sourceUrl / retrievedAt	Official portal URL and UTC retrieval timestamp
debtorName	Organization or individual debtor name
city	City of the debtor
state	State (NJ)
filingNumber	Official NJ UCC filing number
filingStatus	Point-in-time status reported by the NJ portal (Active, Lapsed, or other)
isActive	True when the source-reported status is Active
filingDate	Date the UCC filing was made
lapseDate	Mechanical initial five-year anniversary estimate; not legal expiry
daysSinceFiling	Number of days since the filing was made
daysUntilLapse	Days to/from the mechanical initial five-year estimate
pageCount	Number of document pages
entityType	Business entity type from NJ registry (e.g. Domestic Profit Corporation, LLC)
entityTypeCode	Entity type code (e.g. DP, LLC, FPC)
incorporatedDate	Incorporation/formation date from NJ registry
entityId	NJ 10-digit business entity ID
evidenceNotice	Non-certified search, identity, completeness, and legal-effect limits
lapseEstimateNotice	Warning that lapse fields are mechanical estimates, not legal expiry

Entity fields are populated only when Enrich with Business Entity Data is enabled (default: off). The actor cross-references each debtor name against the NJ Division of Revenue business entity database. This is optional name-based context, not identity resolution.

Use cases

• Credit screening -- Find source-reported UCC filings before extending credit
• KYB/compliance support -- Attach official-source filing evidence to business reviews
• Legal research -- Locate filing records associated with a debtor name
• Sales intelligence -- Research businesses with recorded secured-financing filings
• Portfolio monitoring -- Track source-reported filing-status changes
• Lender leads -- Find businesses with active records and filter by entity type, formation date, and filing recency

How to use

1. Enter a search query -- Organization name (e.g. "JPMorgan"), individual last name, or filing number
2. Select search type -- Organization, Individual, or Filing Number
3. Set the result cap -- The default evaluation returns one source-linked JPMorgan record for at most $0.0021 including the minimum start fee
4. Optionally enable enrichment -- Adds a name-based NJ business-registry cross-reference, but is slower and does not prove entity identity
5. Run the actor -- Results are returned in the Output tab; no-match and temporary source-unavailable outcomes are explicit

Example searches

• Search JPMorgan as Organization to find all JPMorgan Chase UCC filings in NJ
• Search Construction as Organization with enrichment to see entity types and incorporation dates
• Search SMITH as Individual to find UCC filings with individual debtor "Smith"
• Toggle Include Lapsed Filings to include records the NJ portal reports as lapsed

Output formats

Export UCC filing results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or access via API. Integrate debtor-lien data with your CRM, credit workflow, compliance system, or collateral-monitoring pipeline.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0001 minimum start fee + $0.002 per output record (about $2 per 1,000 records, plus the start fee). The one-record default costs at most $0.0021. No subscription is required.

Evidence limits

• Results are point-in-time public filing evidence from the NJ portal, not a certified search, legal opinion, lien-priority determination, or assurance that every relevant debtor-name variation was found.
• filingStatus is the portal-reported status. isActive is derived from that status.
• lapseDate and daysUntilLapse are mechanical estimates based on the original filing date plus five years. Continuations and other UCC rules can keep a filing active beyond that estimate; an active source status can therefore coexist with a past estimate. Do not use the estimate as legal expiry.
• Similar debtor names require identity and address review. Business-entity enrichment is a name-based cross-reference and does not prove that the registry entity is the filing debtor.
• Source records and statuses can change. Use certified records and qualified counsel where a legal determination is required.
• The actor retries transient request, body-read, rate-limit, and server failures within a bounded window. If the official portal remains unavailable, it returns source_unavailable; that is not a no-match conclusion.

Data source

Filing data comes from the official NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services UCC search portal. Business-entity enrichment data comes from the NJ Business Name Search.
