We believe only when we partner with you and protect your interests, can we exceed expectations and empower you to focus on the bigger picture.

For more than 40 years, we have been blazing the trail for the document filing and retrieval industry, both nationally and internationally.

Fairchild Record Search, Ltd. was founded in 1980. Our name came about when the State required a descriptor. “Fairchild” struck our founder as a solid, professional name. To this day, our UCC clients will often say, “I need a Fairchild” when referring to a UCC search.

Pre-internet, access of records and photocopies weren’t available online, ergo search and filing companies were established to provide a source for commercial transaction clientele, providing a faster response than direct mail to State and County offices. Fairchild filled this need by providing state and county filings and searches, corporate document filings and retrievals and a myriad of services relating to consumer and commercial transactions.

When the industry was first laying its foundation, we were on the ground floor. Over 30 years later, we’re proud to say that client retention through the years has been remarkable. We attribute our success to our proactive and personable staff, fair pricing, and our heartfelt desire to make you, the client, look good.

Today, many records are available online, but the searching metrics are variable from one jurisdiction to another, in spite of the “Uniform” implication in UCC. Clients rely on Fairchild to know the distinguishing search procedures. As a client, you know that expedited return on document filing and retrieval and searching throughout the nation and across the globe is the reason to turn to Fairchild.

We’re at your service.
