BROWARD COUNTY, FL – Records, Taxes and Treasury Division (RTT) now offers customers the ability to avoid long lines and wait times for electronically certified documents from 1977 to present. This new online service, an upgrade with partner and service provider Harris Recording Solutions, uses advanced encryption features to produce secure, tamper-proof electronically certified copies of official records in minutes. This new technology furthers the County’s efforts to offer citizens more convenient and cost-effective services without the need to travel to the Broward County Governmental Center. 

The public can now access this new online service by going to RTT’s Official Records search page found at Broward.org/RecordsTaxesTreasury on the “Records” section of the website. Simply locate the official record, click the certified copies box and add the document to the cart. Click on the cart to complete the process. Upon completion of the purchase, an email with a PDF Certified Document will be sent.  

The amount of time it will take to deliver the Electronic Certified Document(s) will depend on the email server and may take a couple of minutes before receiving an email. Please make sure to check email spam and junk folders after your purchase. Customers may still travel to the Broward County Governmental Center for this service. Upgrades have been made to the in-person experience with new pin pads and chip readers for credit cards. Keep in mind, social distancing is practiced and only a limited number of people are allowed in the office at one time.

For more information, call 954-357-6716 or visit Broward.org/RecordsTaxesTreasury.
