Plymouth County Registry Now Accepting E-Recordings
The Plymouth County Registry of Deeds has agreed to accept electric recordings, or “e-recordings.” E-recording is a process of submitting and receiving unregistered land documents electronically over a secure internet connection and recording them through a third party intermediary. Simplifile is the first such intermediary approved by Plymouth County.
We initiated a pilot program six months ago and recorded over seven hundred non-time sensitive documents before recently accepting “live” deeds. We look at this new development as a continuing advancement in our modernization efforts and improvement in our services to our users and the general public. Closing attorneys will now be able to record documents faster, disburse funds and offer better overall service to their clients.
Beyond being a great service to the real estate bar and the general public, it will streamline the recording process resulting in a more efficient operation and reduce paper costs.
Simplifile is hosting an electric recording seminar at the Radisson Hotel, 180 Water Street in Plymouth on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. which is open to the public. See both a news release and a copy of the Simplifile invitation in the News Release section of this website.
For questions concernind electronic recording in Plymouth County, please contact Assistant Register of Deeds Michael P Holden at holden@plymouthdeeds.org or (508) 830-9292.
