e-Recording:

Electronic filing of documents to be recorded is available through www.simplifile.com or by calling 800-460-5657 to submit an electronic file to the Denver Clerk and Recorder's Recording Department.

 
Preparation of Documents

• To file a lien, you must obtain the proper blank form, fill it out, and then have it notarized prior to bringing it to the Office of the Clerk and Recorder.
• Clerk and Recorder staff cannot assist in filling out of any forms because this is considered as legal advice.  It is suggested that you consult an attorney or request the booklet from Bradford Publishing that explains how to fill out forms.
• The Clerk and Recorder office does not supply most blank forms. Deed release forms can be found on the Public Trustee Forms page.  Other standard business forms can be obtained from an office supply store or from Bradford Publishing online. (This local business is located at 17th and Wazee in downtown Denver, and also carries instructional materials for legal forms.)

Note: While the Recording Division will record any document presented by a customer, customers should understand that simply recording a document does not confer legality or authenticity on the document.
