How to Record a Document
You can now easily search, record and receive your documents online from your home or office and easily pay any recording fees from any device.
Our updated and streamlined Records Management System increases transparency and accessibility through our new
self-service Document Recording portal.
Documents received after 3 p.m. Tucson time will be recorded the next business day.
If the document is complete, meets the Arizona statutory Recording Requirements,
and the proper fees have been paid,
we will record your document and make it a matter of permanent public record.
Our Recording experts will enter the document’s pertinent information to create an index so that you can locate it in the future.
Your original document will be returned to the address you provide us.
If the original document is ever lost or misplaced, a certified copy may be obtained from our office.
