HB 1292 modifies Georgia law and requires:
• All self-filers MUST eFile real estate documents.
• All individuals eFiling MUST have their identity verified through the Clerks’ Authority eFile portal, https://efile.gsccca.org. There are no exceptions.
• These groups may file via paper:
o Georgia-licensed attorneys,
o Mortgage lenders, (Georgia licensed or exempt)
o Mortgage servicers, (as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 1024.2)
o Georgia -licensed surveyors,
o Title insurance companies, (Georgia licensed)
o Georgia-licensed real estate brokers or salespersons,
o Any public official.
*PLEASE NOTE: However, if a filer from one of the eight groups listed above chooses to eFile, they MUST have their identity verified, just as self-filers.
• Identity verification of individuals electronically filing is performed by the Clerks’ Authority
• The Clerks’ Authority’s eFiling portal, https://efile.gsccca.org, is the ONLY portal through which real estate documents can be eFiled.
• All real estate documents, including liens and plats, that are eFiled will require ID verification effective January 1, 2025. UCC documents, except those filed on the real estate records, will not require ID verification when eFiled.
• Every person eFiling a real estate document must have successfully completed ID verification, which includes photographic verification. The GSCCCA system maintains the account holder status after verification.
• As adopted by the Board of Directors of the Clerks’ Authority, Real Estate Recording Rules for the State of Georgia (effective January 1, 2025) can be found here: https://www.gsccca.org/docs/efiling-documents/gsccca_georgia_real_estate_erecording_rules_new.pdf
PLEASE BE ADVISED:
Due to changes with mail delivery/pickup times between the United States Postal Service and the County’s Mail Room, please make sure to send your documents well in advance of any potential deadlines. Also, please make sure to avoid e-filing late in the afternoon on the day of your deadline. The Cobb Superior Court Clerk’s Office makes every attempt to process filings timely and efficiently but we cannot be accountable for issues out of our control.
The Real Estate Department provides a variety of services to the public including; recording all Cobb County real estate deeds, plats, condominium floor plans, UCC filings, general execution docket and lien filings, Military Discharge, trade names, and partnerships.
