What is recording?

Recording is the act of entering deeds, mortgages, easements, and other written instruments that affect title to real property into the public record. The purpose of recording is to give notice, to anyone who is interested, of the various interests that parties hold in a particular property. Recording determines the legal priority of instruments that affect title to a particular property.

What is "eRecording"?

"eRecording" is the same as traditional recording with one big difference. Instead of a person physically delivering or mailing the executed documents to the recording entity (County Clerk) and then waiting a long period of time before getting the recording information, the documents are delivered - with specific indexing data – electronically over the Internet. This allows the recording entity to assign the recording information in a timelier manner and return an image of the recorded documents with their recording information.

How does "eRecording" work?

1. After closing, the executed and notarized documents are scanned by either the title company or lender in PDF or TIFF format.

2. Complete the required County indexing information via the eRecording portal on www.ppdocs.com.

3. The scanned documents are uploaded to www.ppdocs.com via HTTP protocol.

4. The indexing information and scanned documents are submitted to the appropriate County.

5. County records the document and returns an electronically stamped copy in a few hours or less.

What types of documents are eligible for eRecording?

The types of documents available for eRecording vary by county. Electronically recorded instruments have not been fully embraced by large lenders. It is recommended that you contact your investor to verify that they will accept electronically recorded instruments.
