The American Land Title Association (ALTA) has announced the integration of confirmed ALTA Registry data into Qualia’s platform.
The data will be provided to Qualia under a licensing agreement with the national ALTA Title & Settlement Agent Registry (ALTA Registry), the national database of title and settlement agents.
“We’re pleased to collaborate with Qualia with the most accurate title and settlement services company data available in the industry,” ALTA CEO Diane Tomb said in a release. “It’s crucial that the title insurance industry urge progress and innovation in the digital closing space. With 10,000 locations already listed in the ALTA Registry and 2,800 of them showing a state of ‘remote online notarization (RON) readiness,’ now is the time for all title insurance companies and real estate attorneys to register.”
The ALTA Registry was created specifically for the mortgage industry and service providers.
ALTA launched it in 2017 as the first national database of title insurance and settlement services companies, including contact information and branch locations, as well as a unique seven-digit ID. Utilizing the ID as a standard form of identification across the industry enables more accurate routing of requests to the correct parties. The ALTA Registry also validates licensed agents, creating an additional layer of security in the process, ALTA added.
“The ALTA Registry is a great vehicle for lenders and brokerages to use to place title orders and collect necessary compliance information. We’re excited to partner with ALTA to expand the reach of the registry and make it easy for title and escrow companies to work with their valued partners,” said Charlotte Brown, vice president of product at Qualia.
