The Nebraska Secretary of State’s office has indicated they have recently begun an effort to enforce the requirement for service companies to obtain and submit to the Secretary of State’s Office a letter of authorization from EACH CUSTOMER to e-file UCCs on their customer’s behalf. Implemented in November 2009, the state only recently decided to enforce the requirement when an audit revealed a lack of compliance on the part of service companies, title companies, law firms, and other third party filers. This requirement impacts high volume third party filers the most, as letters must be obtained for every customer, forwarded to the Secretary of State’s Office, and indexed appropriately under the third party filer’s Electronic Filing Services Agreement. In addition, full compliance by all third party filers could conceivably greatly tax the state’s labor resources.
