Where Do I Record a Document?

Prepared documents should be presented to the Recorder's Office either in person or by mail.

Same-day Recordings end at 3:00 p.m. Documents must be examined and approved prior to that time.

Our trained examiners review all documents at the counter to make sure they meet Basic recording requirements and title-specific requirements set by California law.

In Person
