The Recording Office is responsible for recording, indexing, copying, and preserving permanent public documents, primarily real estate records.  They also issues Marriage and Civil Union Licenses and serves as a passport acceptance center.  Special District Public Notices are also available.

We know your time is valuable and our office provides document information 24/7 through our online Recorded Document Search.   Need help searching for a document?  We’ve got you covered with document search tips.

Copies can be requested online and purchased for a fee.  Copies of DD214’s, Death Certificates and Marriage/Civil Union License Applications are restricted.

Douglas County does not furnish forms for real estate transactions and our staff cannot provide legal advice to citizens.  Most forms can be found at any office supply store or online.  When performing any transaction related to your property, we recommend you contact an attorney, title company or both.
