Overview

The Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller is a public trustee, responsible for safeguarding public records and public funds. The Florida Constitution established the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller as a constitutional officer, directly elected by and accountable to Palm Beach County citizens.

Palm Beach County stretches nearly 2,4002 miles from Florida’s Atlantic Coast into the state’s rural center and includes the northern edge of the Everglades National Park. Its population is 1.5 Million (2019 census report), making it the third-most populous county in the state of Florida. The county was established in 1909, after being split from Dade County.

Challenge

The COVID-19 Pandemic and CDC social distancing guidelines made it impossible for The Palm Beach Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller to notarize marriage licenses in person. Palm Beach had to identify a viable solution to adjust to these circumstances and find an efficient, safe, and virtual way to meet the demands of their customers while still maintaining social distance rules and regulations.

With this objective in mind, Palm Beach County knew it needed to start performing marriage license transactions online, leveraging Remote Online Notarization (RON) Software. Initially, Palm Beach chose a RON provider other than SIGNiX. After months of frustration, no training materials, no phone support, and inconvenience to their customers, Palm Beach realized that the provider was not prepared to meet their requirements. That’s when they selected SIGNiX’s eNotary software.
