Public Access

PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE PROCEEDING

Welcome to the new Barnstable County Registry of Deeds Public Access Website.  All our online indexes and recorded instruments/documents are free to research and view. Our new format is designed to be compatible with Chrome, Safari, Edge, IE and Firefox Browsers, as well as tablets and smart phones. (You must enable Popups for our site to be able to print).

To view a document, instrument or plan, simply use the public search options after the jump at the bottom of this page. Once you have identified an item you would like to view, click on the  icon in the document abstract OR on the entry list line. Then click on the  “Download the Image” link.  This will open a PDF of your requested item.

You will notice that the images have a “not an official copy” overlay which may obscure a portion of the recorded instrument, document or plan.  There is no charge to print the obscured instruments, as you may print them directly from the PDF program installed on your computer.

If you would like to print a copy of an image without the “not an official copy”, the charge is $1 per page and you may pay with a credit card (with a convenience fee of $4 for transactions up to $100 and 4% for those transactions exceeding $100) or with your Cape View account.

Individual items may be printed directly by clicking on  icon next to an entry on your search results page OR on the abstract page of an instrument, document or plan. This will bring you to the print cart and you can pay by credit card (see below) or from account if logged in.  Once your print cart transaction has “cleared” (payment has been processed), you will need to click on “Print” or “Download” under “Document Link” for each instrument, document or plan in your print cart.  This will open a clean PDF which you can then save locally or print. (The print cart is a popup, so make sure you allow popups in your browser when visiting our site).

For printing multiple items at a time, you can spool them in the print cart by clicking on the  icon next to an entry on your search results page OR on the abstract page.  Once you are ready to print, click on the  at the top of the page. This will bring you to the print cart and you can pay by credit card (see below) or from account if logged in.  Once your print cart transaction has “cleared” (payment has been processed), you will need to click on “Print” or “Download” under “Document Link” for each instrument, document or plan in your print cart.  This will open a clean PDF which you can then save locally or print.
