Simplifile announced the addition of eight Georgia counties and four Louisiana parishes to its eRecording network.
“We are excited to see steady growth of eRecording adoption across Georgia and Louisiana, and we will continue to work with recording offices in these states to make eRecording available to more citizens,” Simplifile President Paul Clifford said in a press release.
The first Georgia county joined Simplifile’s eRecording network in February 2013; Louisiana’s first eRecording parish joined Simplifile’s network in August 2014.
“It’s our hope that one day, every jurisdiction will enjoy the benefits of a more efficient eRecording workflow as well as the savings that come with paperless recording and payment processing,” Clifford said.
The new jurisdictions are:
- Bartow County, Ga.
- Bleckley County, Ga.
- Cherokee County, Ga.
- Dawson County, Ga.
- Echols County, Ga.
- Madison County, Ga.
- Polk County, Ga.
- Talbot County, Ga.
- Assumption Parish, La.
- Evangeline Parish, La.
- Iberia Parish, La.
- Sabine Parish, La.
Settlement agents need only a computer with high-speed internet access and a scanner to begin submitting documents electronically in these counties.
Simplifile’s online eRecording service enables settlement agents to scan and submit land records directly to any of 1,546 participating county recording offices nationwide. Simplifile is a provider of real estate document collaboration and recording technologies for lenders, settlement agents and counties.
