How E-recording Works

 

1. Send

Capstone electronically scans, uploads and submits documents through a web-based service for recording.

 

2. Receive

The county Recorder of Deeds receives the documents electronically for processing.

 

3. Review

Documents are reviewed by the county. Should they find any errors, the document will be rejected and returned for correction.

 

4. Record

After they have been reviewed and approved, documents will be processed, stamped, and officially recorded with the county.

 

5. Return

The county returns the stamped, recorded documents back to Capstone electronically, notifying them that the document(s) have been recorded.

e-Recording

What is e-Recording?  Closing documents, like deeds and mortgages, need to be filed at the courthouse to legally effect conveyance. This process is called recording. The traditional method of recording is to ship or hand-deliver documents to the courthouse for review and filing.  e-Recording utilizes specialized technology to deliver documents, via secure Internet connection, in digital form to the county courthouse for recording.
