Simplifile Adds Southern Jurisdictions to E-Recording Network
Simplifile has extended its industry-leading e-recording net-
work to include 21 additional recording jurisdictions across
the southern United States, with the majority in Louisiana.
"E-recording is becoming the preferred way to do busi-
ness as more settlement professionals and recording jurisdic-
tions recognize its abundant time- and cost-saving benefits,"
said Paul Clifford, President of Simplifile. "With the addition
of these 21 new counties and parishes, Simplifile continues our
efforts to expand the availability of e-recording in the South
and nationwide for the benefit of consumers, lenders, settlement
agents, and counties."
e new jurisdictions are also located in cities across Arkan-
sas, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
Settlement agents in these jurisdictions can now electroni-
cally submit documents directly to the county recording office
via Simplifile's secure e-recording service. Within minutes,
county recorders can review, stamp, record, and return docu-
ments electronically through the Simplifile system. e secure
platform also reduces errors and eliminates check-writing costs
by allowing settlement agents to electronically pay recording fees
and other associated expenses.
roughout the U.S., more than 1,629 county recording offices
now electronically record deeds, mortgages, and other documents
using Simplifile.
