Find the document number, year and registering office first.

Gather your pieces

  1. Identify the office, document number, year and relevant book/index.
  2. Section 57 treats register books differently; not every entry is open to everyone.
  3. Confirm state amendments, form, search/copy charges and proof of authority.
