Use a Good Scanner: Poor image quality is the #1 Broward County NOC rejection issue we see. Whenever possible, scan your signed and notarized NOC using an actual document scanner and upload the resulting PDF. Avoid cell-phone photographs or photos converted to PDF. Glare, shadows, blurry text, distortion, and cut-off edges can cause an otherwise correct NOC to be rejected.

Swift-E Recording processes Notices of Commencement for recording in Broward County.
Of the rejection issues we encounter, poor image quality is the most common.
The problem usually occurs when a signed NOC is photographed with a cell phone rather than scanned.
A photograph may look readable on your phone but still create problems when submitted for recording.
Common image problems include:
Saving or converting a cell-phone photograph into a PDF does not turn it into a scanned document.
The glare, shadows, distortion, blur, and other defects in the original photograph remain in the PDF.
For the best results, use an actual document scanner and upload a clean scanned PDF.
A few extra minutes spent creating a clean scan can help avoid a rejection that delays an otherwise fast Broward County recording.
Broward County is one of the faster counties Swift-E works with for NOC recording.
Based on our processed submissions, most properly prepared NOCs are recorded within one business day.
That makes avoiding preventable rejection issues especially important.
A poor-quality image can turn what might otherwise be a one-business-day recording into a longer process requiring correction and resubmission.
Before submitting, make sure:
Swift-E’s free NOC Generator is designed to reduce the amount of information you need to manually enter when preparing a Broward County Notice of Commencement.
The generator helps organize important information in the appropriate sections of the document, including:
Once the document is completed, signed, and notarized, use a good scanner to create the final PDF before submitting it for recording.
You do not have to use the Swift-E NOC Generator.
