ONLINE RECORDING · FLORIDA COUNTY GUIDES
You have enough to manage. Let’s make the paperwork clearer.
After losing someone you love, unfamiliar paperwork can feel overwhelming. Start with your county’s guide to understand the documents for your recording request, then continue online with Swift E-Recording.
Select Your County →County selection comes first. Review local information before signing up.
Find the local guide for your intended recording location.
Review instructions and any applicable supporting forms.
Follow your county guide to the online submission step.
Recording means submitting a document to the county’s recording office for inclusion in its Official Records. It is separate from obtaining a death certificate from the issuing authority.
A death certificate may be relevant to a property-related matter after someone dies. Whether recording is appropriate, and which accompanying documents are needed, depends on the circumstances. Recording alone should not be assumed to transfer ownership or resolve an estate.
Managing documents alongside grief can be difficult. Our goal is to make the recording process more manageable through online submission and county-specific guidance.
Begin by reviewing the relevant guide. Once your documents are prepared and your submission is eligible, the online process lets you submit electronically rather than take documents to a recording counter.
The receiving recording office determines acceptance. Processing times and applicable charges vary.
