Calhoun County, MI (PRWEB)  - Calhoun County is now accepting electronic documents for recording through Simplifile, the nation’s largest e-recording service, providing document submitters with a faster, more cost-effective recording method online.

“With the assistance of our vendor, Simplifile, we feel comfortable and confident that Calhoun County will make a smooth transition to a more paperless system that will enhance our Register of Deeds’ office by receiving and delivering land records,” said Calhoun County Clerk and Register of Deeds Anne B. Norlander. “E-recording will greatly benefit our land record customers. The mailing back and forth of documents that do not meet recording requirements will be a thing of the past. We will now be able to do all necessary correspondence electronically.”

Using Simplifile’s secure, web-based service, customers ranging from title companies to banks, attorneys, and lien filers, have the ability to scan or upload and submit documents directly to the county where they are reviewed, stamped, recorded, and returned electronically in minutes.

“It is our plan to e-record all land record documents,” Norlander said.

Customers also have the ability to track and view the status of their documents that have been submitted through Simplifile, making it easier and more cost effective to correct and resubmit any rejected documents. If an electronic document is rejected for any reason, customers are notified immediately through Simplifile, giving them the ability to quickly correct and resubmit the document back to the county.
