How Georgia handles it

  • GSCCCA (Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority) is a state authority that runs the statewide index of deeds, liens, plats, PT-61 and UCC filings on behalf of the county Clerks of Superior Court.11
  • Since January 1, 2025 (HB 1292) a process validates identity of people filing deeds and other real/personal property records.12
