How to Purchase a Debtor Name Look-up Subscription

To purchase a UCC or Tax Lien Debtor Name Look-up subscription, you will need to create an online account, or, if you already have an account with Minnesota Business and Liens, you can just login.  (Go here for instructions on how to create an account)  

Each subscription purchase consists of 25 Names ($10 for each search). Multiple subscriptions may be purchased at one time to meet your organization’s needs.

Name Look‐Ups are real‐time name look ups conducted in the Minnesota Business & Lien System (MBLS).  This functionality is available as a means for finding liens that may not come up when using the stricter standard search logic. Copies of specified lien records can be ordered from the Debtor Name Search Results Screen for an additional $3.00 fee per record.  If you already know the filing number for a lien, you can skip using the Debtor Name Search Look-up option, and conduct a free File Number Search to order the copies.    

Returns are on active liens unless an indication is made to include one year of lapsed. The results will display 10 liens per page and a display of lien filing details is available for those 10 liens on that page. Pagination is used to navigate to the next set of 10 for display, the next 10 and so on.    The results are printable.  Lien “Master Details” that summarize the lien are expanded on the results.
