Recorder's Office

Recording Notification Service (RNS) is a free service offered by the Recorder’s Office that alerts citizens via email when a document is recorded in their name or on their property. To learn more, visit our explanatory web page about RNS.

The Recorder’s Office provides the Recording Notification Service free as a courtesy to Washoe County residents.

On the Recording Notification Service sign up page, you may enter multiple name variations and parcel numbers per email address. When a document is recorded with a name and/or parcel number that is being monitored, an email will automatically be sent to the provided email address.

It is very possible to receive an alert that may pertain to another individual with the same name as you.

Your name will remain on the notification list indefinitely.

To sign up, modify subscription, or unsubscribe from this service, please visit the RNS sign-up page.

Your registration may be subject to subject to public disclosure per Nevada public records law.

The Recording Notification Service alerts you on all documents recorded after you have signed up. To search documents already recorded under your name, business, or APN, visit our Document Search and Ordering website.

The recording alert will contain the name or parcel number identified in the subscription and a link directing you to the recorded document. By clicking on the link, you can see what type of document was recorded, and purchase a copy, as needed.

Please visit the Document Search and Ordering website to purchase a copy.

If you believe you are a victim of document fraud, contact local law enforcement. You may also want to seek assistance from legal counsel.

Unlike private-party services that charge to monitor our public records each month, our service is free of charge for all Washoe County residents. We will only notify the subscriber of a recorded document based on the enrolled name and/or parcel number.
