Electronic Recording Legislation Approved

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed the electronic recording bill on Tuesday April 1, 2008 with a vote of 14-0. The bill has passed and was signed into law by the Governor on May 13th. The South Carolina E-Recording Committee (SCEC) is meeting at the Secretary of State's office to promulgate the rules of e-recording.

Backfile Project

We are now in the process of adding documents filed between 1975 - 1989 to our online index. We started with 1989 and are working backwards. Please be aware that these documents are not yet verified and will not reflect cross-references until they have been verified.

New Additions to the Research Room

The research room has undergone some changes to help the public have better access to the records. Four new computers with printers have been added, and all the microfiche and microfilm machines have been grouped in one area, allowing for easy access.
