[Oct 29, 2025] Retrieve Filed Lien PDFs via API

You can now download the official filed lien document (UCC1 or UCC3) directly through the Baselayer API - no more waiting for email copies or manually tracking files. This provides a smoother, more automated workflow for lien operations and compliance teams.

Once a lien filing reaches the filed status, you can retrieve the stamped document using:

GET https://api.baselayer.com/lien_submissions/{filing_id}/filed_document

To check whether a filing is ready, continue using:

GET https://api.baselayer.com/lien_submissions/{filing_id}

and look at the filing_status field. When it changes to "filed", the PDF is available for download.

The same functionality is also available in the console: simply open the lien submission and click Download Filed Document:

This update makes it easy to automatically store lien documents in your internal systems, attach them to customer files, or maintain audit-ready records with no manual steps.
