FAQ
  Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)
Is a tax identification number required for a filing?
 
Answer:
Effective July 1, 2001, a tax identification number is no longer required on initial and amendment financing statements. UCC documents are public records. Filers may wish to consider protecting their customers from identity theft by excluding Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable numbers, from financing statements filed with the Michigan UCC office.
