The Office also records honorable discharges for veterans. The Register's Office is one of the few County government offices which generates revenue through a statutory fee schedule. Since December 1988, the recording and indexing of all documents has been computerized which has simplified the indexing process and significantly reduced the turnaround time for recording, copying, and returning documents to senders. When a document is received, key information is entered into the computer. It is then assigned a reference number, a book and page number, and automatically indexed by proper name.
Documents are then microfilmed and copied.
The copies are placed in reference books while the originals are sent back to the appropriate parties. The Register's Office will continue to explore ways to increase the accessibility of information to the public. We hope to be able to introduce new innovations in the future.
