Do you regularly record documents? If so, have you considered the benefits of recording documents electronically? Authorized submitters are able to electronically submit and receive specific electronic records that are instruments of real estate transactions.
An authorized submitter may be a title insurer, title company, institutional lender or government entity.
An authorized submitter may have to work with agents who are certified and approved by the State of California Department of Justice (DOJ) in order to transmit documents electronically.
Prior to the advent of e-recording technology, title companies and others needed to submit stacks of documents to be recorded in person with the Assessor-Clerk/Recorder’s office. By transitioning to a paperless system, the new e-recording process simplifies these transactions by allowing users to submit documents from the convenience of their office computer and eliminating the potential for lost or missed forms. Additionally, e-recording increases efficiency with quicker pricing, recording and acknowledgement of documents.
If you do not record documents on a regular basis, recording in person or by mail are best suited to meet your needs.
If you are interested in recording documents electronically, please contact our office at (559) 636-5050 and someone from our staff will help you begin the process.
