If you’re asking, “When do I receive my DVC deed?”, you’re not alone. After your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resale contract closes, the final step in the process is the recording of your deed. Typically, buyers receive a copy of the recorded DVC deed by email from the title company within five business days after closing. This document is essential because it serves as your official proof of ownership and is required by Disney to activate your membership.
Understanding the DVC Deed Recording Process
Once your DVC contract is finalized and all closing documents are signed, the title company will record the deed with the appropriate county office. This step legally transfers the ownership of your Disney Vacation Club interest. The recorded deed will reflect the exact ownership structure you established during closing, whether titled in your name, jointly, or in the name of a trust.

What Should Buyers Expect?
After the deed is officially recorded, the title company will email you a digital copy of the recorded deed. Ensure you review the draft deed carefully before signing, as it will become your legal ownership document. If you notice any errors, request corrections before the deed is recorded. Once recorded, the deed is used by Disney to activate your DVC membership. To check on activation timelines, visit the DVC Member Portal or the Disney Vacation Club Checklist for step-by-step guidance.
What About Sellers?
Sellers do not automatically receive a copy of the recorded deed unless they specifically request one. Once the sale is complete, the deed is recorded, funds are disbursed, and the seller’s involvement is finished. If a seller later needs a copy for tax or personal purposes, it’s easy to request one from the title company or by contacting the DVC Sales team.
Keeping Your Deed for the Future
The title company maintains a permanent record of the deed, and DVC Sales can assist you in obtaining a duplicate if needed. Whether you need the deed for recordkeeping, tax filing, or simply for peace of mind, retrieving another copy is straightforward. Be sure to save the digital version for your records as soon as you receive it.
What to Do If You Can’t Find Your Deed
If you can’t find your emailed copy or aren’t sure when your deed was recorded, don’t worry. Contact the DVC Sales team, and they will quickly confirm the recording date or provide a new copy.

Your recorded deed is more than just paperwork; it’s the final proof that your Disney Vacation Club membership is officially yours. Please keep it safe, and enjoy your new DVC ownership with confidence.
