- validating the notice data received at the application server by comparing the notice data to a validation scheme, the validation scheme comprising at least one field related to the notice data;
- transforming the notice data into a public notice database record by populating the notice data into corresponding public record database record fields, including populating a notice template with validated notice data to form a completed notice comprising a populated notice template requiring validation by an end user, presenting the completed notice to the end user via a user interface, and requesting the end user to confirm the accuracy of the completed notice;
