Process
- Prior to purchasing the non-refundable certified documents, verify the agency receiving the document accepts e-certifications. Some federal and out-of-state agencies will not accept e-certified documents. Confidential and specific archived records may continue to be certified with a wet stamp or raised seal.
- After submitting the order, the requestor will receive an email to access the encrypted PDF document and require Adobe Acrobat Reader to be viewed. The software verifies the authenticity of the document, confirming the Highlands Clerk as the certifier and whether it has been modified since it was issued by the Clerk’s office.
- You can print the e-certified copy as many times as you need, and you can use it the same as a wet or embossed certified document.
Certain documents that may not be available online can be e-certified by emailing record@highlandsclerkfl.gov or by visiting the Clerk’s office in person.
