Simplifile announces new counties that have added e-recording every couple of weeks; here is a round-up of the latest few from April:
- McDowell County, N.C.
- Oneida County, Idaho
- Pawnee County, Neb.
“The reason I chose to implement e-recording in McDowell County was we wanted the convenience to be brought to the people we serve,” said Tonia Hampton, McDowell County register of deeds. “Technology is advancing and moving forward. Hard-back books and temporary indexes being a thing of the past, this is going to be the future. Coming on board was a way to advance our office and please many clients that are not able to travel to our county to process a document.”
Hampton also acknowledged e-recording provides faster turnaround of recorded documents and reduces errors and postage.
“The goal I seek to achieve within this year is to make the transaction as easy as possible for all customers,” Hampton said. “I hope to see local attorneys as well as large corporations use the e-filing service. If I can eliminate a customer from waiting in line, as busy as our daily lives have become, I will have accomplished my goal. If I save our county tax payers from paying senseless postage, I will have accomplished my goal. Exceeding the goals of the public is my priority.”
McDowell County is the 26th North Carolina county to begin e-recording with Simplifile.
Northern Title in Malad City, Idaho, was the first to e-record a document, a deed of trust, in Oneida County using Simplifile.
“I am glad that we have the ability to record using Simplifile when we have recordings that cross county and state lines and need to be recorded in multiple counties,” said Wendy Rufi, office manager at Northern Title in Malad City. “It will save time and money as we will no longer have to overnight documents to be recorded.”
With the addition of Oneida County, nearly 80 percent of all Idaho counties have adopted e-recording.
