What is E-Recording?
E-recording services, also known as electronic recording, enable you to submit documents such as deeds, liens, and mortgages to county recorders in a digital format instead of through mail or in person.
Benefits of E-Recording:
Speed: The turnaround time is frequently decreased from several days to just a few hours.
Cost Savings: This process removes the necessity for physical mailing, courier charges, and the expense of check issuance.
Fewer Rejections: The use of automated validation assists in identifying absent signatures or erroneous fee calculations prior to submission.
To record documents electronically (eRecording) in California, you must submit them through a state-certified third-party vendor, as county recorders do not accept direct uploads from individual citizens. Under the California Electronic Recording Delivery Act (ERDA), only approved agents integrated with multi-county networks, like Direct Legal Support, can transmit files to local county clerk-recorders.
Why use Direct Legal E-Recording?
Direct E-Recording, powered by Direct Legal Support, is a state-certified nationwide electronic recording service that makes submitting legal documents to county recorders fast, simple, and paperless. Whether you need to record a deed, lien, mortgage, or other legal instrument, our platform lets you submit digitally — 24/7 — without trips to the courthouse, costly couriers, or slow mail delays.
With automated validation that catches missing signatures and fee errors before submission, you get fewer rejections, faster turnarounds, and real cost savings. What once took days now takes just a few hours.
