Using Kansas business entity search and the KSUCC system

Kansas business entity search runs on sos.ks.gov through the Secretary of State's e-forms area. UCC filing, searching, printing, and tracking use the Kansas Secretary of State UCC system (KSUCC) on mykansas.ks.gov. The two entry points serve different indexes, so use the business entity search for charter questions and KSUCC when you need financing statement workflows or lien search results.
