Typical Miami-Dade recording time: Based on NOCs processed through Swift-E Recording, Miami-Dade recording typically averages approximately 2–4 business days.
Processing times can vary depending on county workload, document quality, rejection issues, holidays, and other recording conditions.

Best Upload Quality: For the clearest recording image, use an actual document scanner whenever possible and upload the resulting PDF. Avoid uploading cell-phone photographs or photos converted to PDF. A photo saved as a PDF is still a photograph and may contain shadows, glare, distortion, blurred text, or other image-quality problems that can result in rejection.
Swift-E Recording processes Notices of Commencement for recording in Miami-Dade County.
Based on the Miami-Dade NOCs we process, these are the four rejection issues we encounter most frequently.
Image quality is the most frequent Miami-Dade NOC rejection issue we see.
A Notice of Commencement must be sufficiently clear and legible for recording.
A common problem occurs when a client takes a cell-phone photo of the signed document and either uploads the photo directly or converts the photo into a PDF.
Converting a photograph to PDF does not improve the original image.
Photos may contain:
For best results, use an actual document scanner whenever possible and upload a clean scanned PDF.
The contractor’s information must be completed accurately on the Notice of Commencement.
One of the most common Miami-Dade rejection issues we encounter is an incomplete contractor name or address.
Before submitting the document, verify that the contractor’s full name and complete address appear in the appropriate section of the NOC.
The property owner’s information must also be complete.
Missing or incomplete owner names and addresses are another frequent reason we see Miami-Dade NOCs returned for correction.
Verify the owner’s full name and complete address before the document is signed and submitted for recording.
An incomplete notary acknowledgment can prevent an otherwise properly completed NOC from being recorded.
Before uploading the document, check that the notarial section has been fully completed and that required notary information has not been left blank.
A missing date, incomplete acknowledgment, missing notary information, or other deficiency in the notarization can result in the NOC being returned for correction.
Swift-E’s free NOC Generator is designed to reduce the manual entry involved in preparing a Notice of Commencement.
The generator helps organize important information in the appropriate sections of the document, including:
For Miami-Dade submissions, completing the document correctly is only part of the process.
Document quality matters too.
After your NOC has been signed and notarized, scan the completed document using a document scanner whenever possible rather than photographing it with a phone.
You do not have to use the Swift-E generator.
