Historical Indexing is an important way that the Recorder’s Office provides yet another way for citizens to access important property related information. While each year of indexing can take upwards of a year for staff to complete, the end result proves beneficial to both the Recorder’s team and citizens.
As of now, the office plans on continuing this effort until documents have been indexed all the way back to 1972, making these documents available for viewing online. Contact the Recorder’s Office (928) 753-0701 or

During off-election years, the voter registration division of the Recorder’s Office focuses on voter roll cleanup. After the 2024 General Election, Federal Law allowed the office to remove 5,378 voters with inactive addresses from their rolls. This puts the registered voter count at 168,647 across the County.
The Recorder’s Office is gearing up to mail voter registration confirmation notices to all active registered voters in May of this year, so be sure to keep an eye on the mail for a postcard with your name on it. When you receive this, verify that the information listed on the notice contains accurate information. If your information needs to be updated, you can do this online by visiting:
AZMVDnow.gov
or contacting the Recorder’s Office for a paper form.
State Law now requires that all voters be notified when a change is made to their record. Sign up for these text or email alerts by visiting:

In September of 2024, an issue related to citizenship tracking through the Motor Vehicle Division when registering to vote prior to 2005 was brought to our attention. In Mohave County, there were approximately 4,500 voters affected by this oversight. The Recorder’s Office will be working to assist these voters in supplying citizenship to our office in order to cure their voter record. These voters can expect to receive a notice in the mail requesting that this documentation be provided.
