The DeKalb County Recorder’s Office will begin offering electronic recording services for real estate documents beginning Aug. 3, the office announced in a news release Wednesday.
The new eRecording service allows title companies, attorneys, lenders and other authorized submitters to securely submit documents electronically for recording rather than delivering paper documents by mail or in person, according to the release.
Documents submitted electronically will be reviewed using the same recording standards and requirements as paper documents. Once recorded, the completed documents will be returned electronically, according to the release.
Clerk and Recorder Tasha Sims said adding eRecording is another step in her plans to modernize services offered by her office while continuing to provide residents with choices.
“We’ve heard from local banks, title companies and others who have been interested in eRecording, and we’re excited to finally make it available,” Sims said in the release. “This gives customers another convenient option for recording documents while maintaining the same level of security, accuracy, and customer service they expect from our office.”
Sims said traditional recording services will continue to be available.
“Offering eRecording doesn’t mean we’re eliminating paper recording,” Sims said in the release. “Customers who prefer to mail documents or bring them into our office are absolutely welcome to continue doing so. I believe it’s important that we offer options so people can choose what works best for them.”
Organizations interested in using eRecording services may enroll through CSC eRecording by calling 855-200-1150 or emailing eRecording@cscglobal.com, the release said.
The DeKalb County Recorder’s Office is at 110 E. Sycamore St., Sycamore. For more information, the office listed a phone number of 815-895-7156.
