About the Register of Deeds 

The Register of Deeds Office is the place where people record documents relating to land transactions.

Different types of deeds, as well as land contracts, mortgages, liens, and lease agreements, are recorded at the Register of Deeds Office.

After a document is recorded, it becomes a public record, which can be reviewed or copied by any person. Of course, the Register of Deeds Office does not keep the original deed or mortgage; instead, the transaction is recorded in a book, called a "liber", which is stamped on the deed or document.

A copy or image of the document is then made for permanent record.

Passport Applications can be made between 8AM and 4PM Monday through Friday. Temporarily by appointment only. Please call 269-673-0390 to schedule your appointment. Pictures available on site.

We do not prepare documents nor do we answer legal questions. Please contact an attorney or a title company.
