Notices of Commencement and Property Deeds
Welcome to Florida Document Specialists, where we make paperwork behave.
Our boutique team helps homeowners, contractors, and professionals prepare, notarize, and electronically record documents with county clerk offices across Florida—without the red tape headache.
Professional Clerical Oversight:
You stay focused on what you do best; we’ll make sure your paperwork ends up where it belongs.
What Is eRecording, and Why Should You Care?
If you’ve ever hand-delivered a Notice of Commencement to a clerk’s office—or mailed it and hoped for the best—you already know why eRecording matters.
eRecording, short for electronic recording, lets you skip the courthouse shuffle entirely. Instead of driving across town with paper copies, you upload your documents securely online. Most are recorded the same day, and you’ll get proof of recording right in your inbox.
For construction professionals, this solves a major pain point:
You can keep projects moving without waiting on a runner, an overnight envelope, or the one staff member who knows where the permit packet went.
We act as your off-site eRecording department—typing, notarizing, and submitting your documents through a certified, SOC-audited platform used by county clerks statewide. No portal accounts, no subscriptions, and no training. Just done.
Why Florida Leads the Nation in eRecording
Did you know that Florida is one of the few states where a Notice of Commencement (NOC) must be recorded before certain permitted construction work can even begin? It’s a legal requirement—and one reason Florida’s clerks handle an enormous volume of electronic document recordings every single day.
For contractors, property owners, and other professionals, that makes timely recording more than just a formality—it’s part of keeping projects on schedule and in compliance with building regulations.
A Streamlined, Quality-Controlled Process:
At Florida Document Specialists, we make that process easier. Our system blends clerical support, remote notarization, and secure eRecording through a nationally recognized, SOC-audited and ISO-certified platform trusted by county clerks statewide.
The result? Fewer delays, cleaner submissions, and a smoother experience from first upload to final confirmation.

The result is a neatly typed, professionally formatted document ready for notarization and eRecording.
If there is even a hair of doubt about what your document should say, it is always wise to consult a licensed Florida attorney before proceeding. We will be here to handle the typing once you are confident in your direction.

eRecording, or electronic recording, is a secure way to submit documents for official recording with a county Clerk & Comptroller’s office.

Yes. While our platform currently focuses on recording documents in Florida counties, our online notarization services are available nationwide and internationally. We’re also expanding our eRecording coverage to additional states, so stay tuned for updates.
No. One of the main benefits of eRecording is that you never have to mail or hand-deliver original paperwork to the county clerk. Once the documents are prepared, you simply upload them to our secure system, and we handle the rest.
Typically, the clerk’s office processes eRecorded documents within minutes or a few business hours, depending on volume. This is a significant advantage over traditional mailing or in-person delivery, which can take days or even weeks. Depending on workload, some counties may take a day or more to record.
Yes, for most eRecording services. We use a quick and convenient KYC verification—completed on your smartphone in under two minutes—to ensure secure client identity. However, this step is not required for eRecording Notices of Commencement. Our KYC process helps prevent fraud and keeps your transactions secure without adding unnecessary complexity.
We offer remote online notarization services for fully prepared deeds. You can complete the entire notarization process from the comfort of your home or office. Once notarized, we can seamlessly assist with eRecording to finalize your document’s official status.
Once the document is successfully recorded, you’ll receive a copy bearing the official clerk’s markings. This confirmed copy serves as proof of your document’s legal status, and you can keep it for your records or forward it to any relevant parties.
No. For eRecording to be valid, we need a scanned version of the original, physically signed document. We cannot accept photos (even if converted into a PDF) or scans of a copy. This ensures that your submission meets official county standards, reducing the risk of rejections or delays.
Yes. We only record deeds that have a minimal or no consideration requirement and do not require documentary stamp taxes. If your deed calls for documentary stamps or if you’re unsure about the requirements, please contact us before submission to determine eligibility.
Completing KYC verification helps us confirm the identity of the person submitting the document, which is essential to prevent deed fraud and unauthorized recordings. By verifying your identity, we ensure that only the rightful owner or authorized party can record property-related documents, thereby protecting your interests.
Simply contact us by phone or through our website to begin. We’ll guide you through any necessary document preparation, KYC verification, and secure online submission. Our platform is available 24/7, so you can upload your documents whenever it’s convenient for you.
