Effective March 1, 2016, North Dakota’s new Central Indexing System goes into effect. This requires all UCC records to be filed electronically and must include the SSN or FEIN for each debtor. The system will be tested beginning February 24 through March 1 therefore no UCC records can be filed during this time. Once implemented, all paper records submitted to the Secretary of State will be rejected.
