Official records

The Recording Department is responsible for recording all official records in St. Lucie County. Official Records consist of liens, plats, certificates of title, mortgages, lis pendens, marriage licenses, deeds, judgments, death certificates, military discharges, and more. Documents dating back to 1980 are available online.

Recording a new deed may impact your property tax exemptions. Please visit the Property Appraiser’s website (opens a new site) for more information.

Certified copies

Get Official Records electronically certified with Clerk E-Certify (opens a new site). The service uses advanced encrypted features to produce tamperproof PDF documents. E-certified records can be reused, unlike paper certifications. Any documents recorded in the county’s official records and viewable online are available for e-certification.

Confidential documents that are hidden from the web can be requested online or by visiting the Clerk’s office in person. Additional service fees apply.
