First Parish in Louisiana Begins e-Recording
press release
   

Simplifile customers can now e-record in Jefferson Parish, the first recording jurisdiction in Louisiana to join Simplifile’s electronic recording (e-recording) network, enabling faster, more efficient recording of land records.

"We are very excited to see the state of Louisiana open its doors to e-recording and to provide customers with the ability to submit their documents online in Jefferson Parish," said Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. "There are now 44 states that have started e-recording and we are proud to be providing this service to customers in all of those states. Without question, e-recording has become the standard for document recording, streamlining and expediting the recording process for customers and recording offices nationwide."

Instead of waiting several days or weeks for documents to be stamped, recorded, and returned from the clerk’s office by mail, customers including title companies, banks, attorneys, and other organizations that e-record can have their documents recorded in minutes through Simplifile’s online service.

E-recording also helps to increase document security, reduce the number of rejected documents, and eliminate payment errors and check-writing expenses, as recording fees are processed securely via electronic funds transfer or Automated Clearing House.

High-speed Internet access, a PC, and a scanner are the minimum requirements for customers to begin e-recording with Simplifile.

Across the nation, more than 1,120 counties and recording jurisdictions e-record with Simplifile.

I am puzzled... I know of no place in the State of Louisiana that takes weeks to provide recording.  Typically we send people to the local Clerk's office and record the documents getting the certified copies back in minutes.... yes minutes.  Originals are kept by the Clerk of Court in Louisiana.  Is there really a need for e-recording?  Even if I send recording by next day delivery, I have my certified copies back in a matter of a 2-3 business days.

I served on Connecticut's State E-recording Committee.

In Cliff Notes, the lenders and attorneys have an account with SimpliFile (or other companies that do this) and an employee fills in a database cover sheet and sends a pdf (or other ways to do this) direct to SimpliFile, which verifies the accuracy of the information and e-files it with the Clerk's office.  The Clerk's office gets a "ding" on their PC re an incoming recording.  Once notified it was ACCEPTED (no errors) by the Clerk, SimpliFile e-notifies the employee and the lender/attorney has access at anytime to view/print the recorded document through Simplifile at no additional charge.

The additional cost for e-filing (usually a few dollars) is passed on to the consumer; the firm does not have to have employees spending time writing checks and mailing documents, including postage costs.  It also eliminates the "recording costs" of a title search or "middle person".

In CT it works well for liens (foreclosure attorneys and mechanics) and mortgage releases; those filings that do not require an up-to-the-minute title bring down (you don't know who is at the counter or what's on the Clerk's desk that will be recorded prior to your incoming e-filing or the title insurance company is willing to take the risk). The State offices and 169 town clerks aren't yet coordinated for e-filing of deeds where state conveyance taxes are due.
