The Mobile County Probate Court recorded its first electronic document, a mortgage amendment, submitted through Simplifile. Mobile County is the fourth Alabama recording jurisdiction to make Simplifile’s e-recording service available, joining Elmore, Montgomery and Shelby counties.
“We’re excited to have been the first to e-record a document with Mobile County and know our customers have been anxious to be able to e-record with the probate office. It provides them with a much more convenient, efficient recording option that saves them a significant amount of time and money,” said Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. “Our goal as an e-recording provider is to make the overall process faster, simpler, and more cost-effective for everyone.”
Instead of waiting several days or weeks for documents to be stamped, recorded and returned from the county, customers including title companies, banks and other organizations that e-record can have their documents recorded in minutes through Simplifile’s online service.
