Filing Activity Notification System (FANS)
GSCCCA AND GEORGIA’S CLERKS OF SUPERIOR COURT ANNOUNCE F.A.N.S.
Filing Activity Notification System (F.A.N.S.) to Benefit Georgia’s Citizens
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA), in conjunction with the Superior Court Clerks of Georgia, proudly announces a free, consumer-friendly process that notifies property owners any time filings are made related to their registered property! F.A.N.S. will also notify of filing activity related to personal property, liens and plat filings. “With our Clerk of Superior Court partners, we are excited to roll out F.A.N.S. We believe the Filing Activity Notification System gives the property owner tools to monitor filing activity which could help prevent property fraud,” stated John Earle, GSCCCA Executive Director.
Citizens can simply register with an email address or telephone number. After submitting a name, the user will receive an email and/or text notification whenever a filing related to that name is filed in the selected records.
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority was created by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1993. The purpose of the GSCCCA is to provide a cooperative for the development, acquisition, and distribution of record management systems, information, services, supplies, and materials for Superior Court Clerks and Georgia’s citizens, while providing cost savings to local government and the state of Georgia.

eCertification
The Clerk of Superior Court’s Office is pleased to announce new eCertification services that provide users the ability to electronically request certified Court and Real Estate Records 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will be available beginning April 1, 2022.
What is eCertification?
eCertification is software used by the Clerk’s office to generate tamper-proof and self-validated certified copies of Court Records and Real Estate Recordings. Customers can purchase electronically certified records from the convenience of their home, smart phone, or anywhere they have internet access, and, upon processing by the Clerk’s office, receive them as secured PDFs via email or online at https://ecert.gsccca.org.
A trip will no longer be required to the Clerk’s office to have a paper copy certified. The public can now access this new online service by visiting the Clerk’s website.
How does it work?
To request an eCertified copy, click on the QR code or visit https://ecert.gsccca.org to create an account. Once registered, log in to get started:
Follow the steps to submit a request for an eCertified document.
1. Click Submit a New Request at the top, right corner of the page
2. Select the county where the record is located
3. Select the document type
4. Select Continue to Submit the Request
5. Complete all required fields and select Submit request
Once the Clerk’s office processes the request, payment authorization will be required.

Once payment authorization is received and finalized by the Clerk’s office, a final email will be sent containing an authentication link which also includes the purchased eCertified copy of the requested document.
A purchased eCertified copy of a document may be downloaded and stored for future use, allowing customers to maintain their own documents for multiple uses and printing.
