      Colette McCain-Jacques explains how property owners can obtain quality copies of their deeds.

      • Property owners can visit the Department of Finance office to order a certified copy of their deed
      • Deeds can also be accessed and printed from home using the ACRIS (Automated City Register Information System) website
      • Older documents from the 1600s and 1700s are on microfilm and may have lower quality
      • The Department of Finance has a centralized research library where staff can assist in obtaining the best possible copy of a deed
      • For very old deeds, visiting the office in person may provide the best results with staff assistance
