Q: Do you file the UCC1 in the state where the birth
certificate was created (in my case, Ohio)?

A: I can I do a complimentary filing which covers you
with a broad brush stroke and gives you a fall back
position'should you not be able to file in your own
State. Some States like Michigan are extremely
difficult. Then I suggest you complement that with
paper filings in your State and your birth should they
be different than your birth state. If you have
property you want to file at in each county where you 
have property. I have example forms that you can
follow so you are not totally on your own.
