Description: The Secretary of State is a constitutional office with duties that fall into four major categories, as follows: Executive: Many of the executive records have both the signatures of the secretary of state and of the governor because the secretary of state serves as the governor's personal notary public. When the secretary of state is witnessing the governor's signature, the Great Seal of Alabama is used as the "notary" seal. Included in this type of executive records are writs of arrest, contracts, deeds and leases. Other executive records include listings of abandoned vehicles found in the state, information on municipal incorporations, and the names of all notaries public registered in Alabama. Elections: The secretary of state is Alabama's "Chief Election Official". The secretary of state is given many different election duties under state law. Election records include vote totals, certified ballots and records showing how much money candidates and political committees raised and spent during an election. Copies of certificates of election, commissions, and oaths of office are also on file for many elected officials. Business Records: Business records are divided into three categories: Lands and Trademarks, Corporations, and Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The Lands and Trademarks Section has the original state land records dating back to the days when Alabama first achieved statehood. All of the trademarks registered in the state also are found here. Corporations Section staff members reserve names of businesses that incorporate to do business in Alabama. The state has about 200,000 corporate filings, and staff members usually get about 300 requests each day for information in those files.The UCC Section maintains more than 220,000 financing statements that are filed by attorneys and banking institutions.
