Using Montana Secretary of State ePass (biz.sosmt.gov)

Montana hosts business entity search and UCC lien search on biz.sosmt.gov under different paths. Use the business search for corporations, LLCs, and assumed business names, and use the UCC search for financing statement index results. Both sit on the same portal, but they are separate screens.

SOS information

Montana business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Search business entities

Search by the name, number, or filters the Secretary of State exposes on the official business search form. Open the record for status, registered agent, and charter details. Read disclaimers on the site before you rely on results for legal or lending decisions.

Certificates, good standing, and copies may require separate ePass workflows or fees; follow current SOS instructions from the portal or agency site.

File or manage business filings

Formations, annual reports, and amendments are filed through Secretary of State online services linked from biz.sosmt.gov or sosmt.gov. Sign in when the workflow requires an account and use published fees before you pay.

UCC information

Financing statements & lien search

UCC lien search

Use the UCC search path for debtor and file number style searches the index supports. Match legal names to how parties filed. Confirm on the live site whether you need a certified search or copy and follow the division fee process.

Tips if the site feels confusing

Business search and UCC search are different tabs or paths on biz.sosmt.gov; one empty screen does not prove the other index is clear.
Login or payment prompts can appear on filing or certified paths even when public search feels open; read each step on the official site.
Official fees and UCC rules belong to the Montana Secretary of State and your advisors, not third-party summaries.
