“Our ability to offer electronically certified records is a gamechanger,” said Duval County Clerk Jody Phillips. “We hope that giving our customers the opportunity to obtain certified documents instantaneously from wherever they happen to be, as well as the chance to print as many copies as necessary, allows them to get their business done as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
Electronic certified documents can be authenticated at any time by either using a clickable link on the document’s cover page or scanning the QR code also found on the cover page. When an eCertified document is purchased, the file will be available for immediate download via email link for a 30-day period. Once downloaded, the customer can print as many certified copies as desired without the need to purchase additional certified copies from the Clerk’s Office.
Officials said the electronic documents are accepted by federal and state agencies and should also be accepted by all other entities requiring certified copies.
