Department History:

 

Prior to the advent of microfilm, paper records were kept on file for storage and public access. With the advancements in technology, the Microfilm Department was created around 1963, employing one person to copy the documents. In approximately 1993, the Search Department separated from the Recording Department and became part of Microfilm. In 2008, after the move into the new Clerk's building, Research became part of the Recording Department. The switch from microfilming records to scanning began in 2004. Today, the Microfilm Department scans over 100,000 images a month for use in the Clerk's electronic imaging system and for archival storage.

 

 

Did You Know....

The St. Lucie County Clerk's Office has a machine that converts scanned images to microfilm. A copy of all scanned images are stored on microfilm, and DVD and sent to an off site underground storage facility in Boyers, PA.

 

 
Department Functions and Services:

Microfilm:
We are responsible for the imaging (scanning) of records for Circuit Civil, Domestic Violence, Family Relations, Felony, Mental Health, Probate, Small Claims, and Juvenile. We backup these digital images on DVD and also on archival quality microfilm. We also provide quality control for the Recording Department's Official Record Books. Once a Book has been scanned, we verify each image and notify Recording of any image corrections needed. Once an O.R. Book is verified and corrected, we back the images up on CD, DVD, and archival microfilm and notify Recording the book may be released. The Microfilm Department did all of the in-house scanning of the Clerk's Official Record Books and Plat Books that were on microfilm, thus making them available in the digital format. These Official Record Books are available for purchase on CD. We also offer the Plat Books for purchase on CD.

Please note: While every attempt is made to provide accurate information in the Public Records database of this website, official records must be obtained through the Clerk of Court at the Courthouse.
