Section 22601.5 - Optional Information

(a) The request may limit the records searched by using the city and state of the debtor, the date of filing (or a range of filing dates) or the identity of the secured party(ies) of record on the financing statements. The reports created by the Secretary of State's office in response to a request shall contain the statement:

"The search results herein reflect only the specific information requested. The results of the debtor search will not reflect variances of this name. If the debtor is known under other personal names, trade names, business entities, or addresses, separate searches of these names will have to be requested and conducted. The Secretary of State, his officers and agents disclaim any and all liability for a claim resulting from other filings on which the name of the debtor can be found in any other form than that which was requested."

(b) The request may ask for copies of UCC records identified on the search response.

(c) The request may include instructions on the mode of delivery desired, if other than by ordinary mail, which request will be honored if the requested mode is available to the Secretary of State's office.

(d) Copies of unrelated records may be requested by providing the specific file numbers. The Secretary of State's office may limit the number of records that may be accepted in a single search request.
