Yes — Nassau County accepts electronic recording. Deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, and other notarized real estate documents can be submitted digitally to the Clerk of the Circuit Court's office in Fernandina Beach through approved e-recording channels instead of mailing paper originals, which typically cuts recording turnaround from days to hours.
Nassau County is home to about 104,376 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 estimate), ranking 37th by population among the 67 Florida counties in this directory. Its population has grown about 14.7% since 2020.

In Florida, the Clerk of the Circuit Court serves as the county recorder and maintains the Official Records for each county.
For remote online notarization (RON), e-recording eligibility means the entire transaction can stay digital: sign and notarize online with Notaron, then submit the notarized document electronically for recording — no printing, shipping, or wet-ink originals. Title companies, lenders, and signing services use this combination to close and record the same day.
