GSCCCA Information for Clerks

Information for Clerks

The Authority designed its real estate, lien, civil case and child support eFile programs such that they seamlessly integrate with the information management systems already used in your office every day. For instance, when participating in GSCCCA eFiling of Real Estate documents, your existing Land Records system is used to process the filings in a way that you are already familiar with. The Authority provides interested vendors with specifications and code samples for integration. Because these eFile programs are integrated with a vendor-based system of the Clerk’s choosing, the Clerk’s office will work in conjunction with the vendor to receive training for processing real estate, lien, civil case and child support eFilings. Several of the national eRecording submitters have already been certified to use the GSCCCA eFiling system and are READY to file in your county today!

The Authority developed the UCC eFile program to integrate with our eFile site, http://efile.gsccca.org, and to enable Superior Court Clerks to review and accept or reject electronically filed UCCs. Upon acceptance or rejection of an electronically filed UCC, a filer’s account is updated and, if accepted, the UCC is automatically transmitted to the Authority for indexing. Because UCCs are perfected statewide when filed in any one of the 159 counties in Georgia, filers now have the option of filing UCCs electronically or via paper. Vendor programs used to participate in eFiling may require an upgrade or may have an additional fee or fees affiliated with them. Contact the vendor to determine if there are additional costs and/or software required.
