My disabled mother went through all the steps to get her "Affidavit of Death" (survivor of joint tenant) document notarized and sent into this office only to find out it was rejected simply because the spacing wasn't right. I mean, this was printed from RocketLawyer and it looked fine to me. Ridiculous standards from our government that leaves elderly people in the dark.

Excellent, courteous, professional service. It took a 5-minute phone call to complete my transaction. Are we sure this is a GOVERNMENT office? Never had such superlative service! Thank you, Washoe County Recorder!

I never thought I'd be writing a review for a county office, but I had such a pleasant experience it feels warranted. Very nice staff, they seem to genuinely want to help. Made the experience of filing my deed paperwork much less stressful.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I worked with Kiley (I think that was her name, and I am certain I am probably misspelling it;). She was so helpful, I had nine documents to be recorded late Friday afternoon, before Memorial Day, and she did not complain or try to rush me at all. Thank You!
