How to Record a Deed in Randolph County

Before bringing a deed to the Randolph County clerk, make sure it meets state requirements. All documents must meet the formatting and content requirements of O.C.G.A. 44-2-14.

Warranty and quitclaim deeds need a PT-61 transfer form. Submit it electronically at gsccca.org before recording.

Use efile.gsccca.org for eRecording. It typically processes in 2-3 business days compared to roughly 4 weeks for mailed documents.

Documents come back if the PT-61 is missing, a witness signature is absent, or the notary seal is not on the deed.

When you submit a deed for recording, the clerk's office stamps it with the date and time received and assigns a book and page number. That number becomes the permanent reference for the document. Keep it for your records.

If you are mailing a deed to the Randolph County clerk, include a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return. The address is 93 Front Street, Cuthbert, GA 39840. Call (229) 732-2216 first if you have any questions about document format or what to include.

Security deeds, which are used in most Georgia mortgage transactions, also go through the same recording process. They are indexed in GSCCCA along with warranty and quitclaim deeds.

Deed Fraud Protection for Randolph County

The state's FANS system helps property owners detect unauthorized deed filings. The system is called FANS, which stands for Fraud Alert Notification System. Sign up at fans.gsccca.org to get alerts whenever your name or address appears in a new deed filing. It's free and takes just a few minutes.

Deed fraud typically involves someone filing a fraudulent transfer of your property without your knowledge. Early alerts give you time to act before the situation becomes harder to resolve. The FANS system was built for this exact purpose.

The eCertification portal at ecert.gsccca.org lets you get certified copies online, available around the clock.

GSCCCA's free training site at elearn.gsccca.org covers search, recording, and fraud alert tools.

If you believe a fraudulent deed has been filed on your Randolph County property, contact the clerk's office at (229) 732-2216 right away. You may also want to contact a real estate attorney. Acting quickly is important in these situations.
