Lawrence County, PA Register and Recorder’s Office Launches GovOS Cloud Search, eFiling and eProbate Solutions

Lawrence County was the first in Pennsylvania to launch GovOS Cloud Search and its citizens can quickly and easily search more than 1 million public records dating back to 1959. Crawford and her team are continuing to add records dating back to the county’s inception, all of which will be available to search online. Citizens can also use this system to purchase certified copies through a secure online portal and print off any information needed at home.

In addition to Cloud Search, the county launched GovOS eProbate and GovOS eFiling so users can scan and send documents to the office electronically. Since launch, the county has received more than 70 eFiling submissions and 29 eProbate submissions.

In 2022, Lawrence County began working with GovOS to migrate all of their historic images and go-forward records to PDF/A format for archival storage, complying with requirements established by the PA Historical Museum and Archives. Most recently, the county launched GovOS Property Alert to allow citizens to subscribe, free of charge, to receive alerts any time a document has been recorded with their name, Parcel ID or other criteria set up in their profile.
