Registered Users

What is a Registered User

A Registered User is an account holder with us that can use their account to do business in our office.  They also have access to view, download, and print images from their own computer.  ($5 per image is debited from your escrow when image is viewed)  Becoming a registered user requires a $250 deposit to open an non-interest bearing escrow account and the account must remain open for a minimum six-month period. Once an image is viewed on our public search site your account is debited $5.00.  This is type of account is only recommended for customers who do frequent business with the Erie County Clerk’s Office.  If you don't do frequent business and need copies of a record you can visit our record request page.
