KANE COUNTY, ILLINOIS – March 28, 2008 - Simplifile announced today that Kane County, Illinois is now electronically recording (eRecording) land record documents such as satisfactions, mortgages, and reconveyances submitted by title companies, banks, and attorneys to the Recorder’s Office through the Simplifile eRecording Service.

eRecording is the process of submitting, receiving, and processing, via a secure Internet site, documents for recording that have traditionally been delivered to the county for recording by runner, express mail, or courier service. eRecording offers customers the ability to simplify and accelerate all aspects of the recording process, dramatically shortening the Gap and improving auditability.

“The Kane County Recorder’s Office is pleased to work with Simplifile to provide eRecording services to our clients,” said Recorder of Deeds, Sandy Wegman. According to Wegman, “We are continually evaluating ways to improve the quality of our services, and believe that eRecording enables us to more efficiently record documents, eliminate document filing errors, and actually increase document security—while at the same time, work with our private sector partners, like Simplifile, to improve turn-around times and increase efficiencies. eRecording customers will now have the ability to record and track the status of documents from the convenience of their offices, using a standard Web browser.”

More than a mere trend in land record document submission, eRecording is a government priority. Federal (ESIGN) and state legislation (UETA, URPERA) have established the legal basis for secure electronic recording, and dozens of states and counties are already eRecording today.

"We welcome Kane County to the Simplifile nationwide eRecording network. Recorder Wegman and her staff are taking proven steps to make the land record submission and recording process easier, more secure and cost-effective through the use of technology,” said Paul Clifford, President of Simplifile. “Based on our experience deploying eRecording solutions in counties nationwide, companies doing business with the Recorder’s Office will enjoy significant cost savings, productivity gains and enhanced filing and recording services by electronically recording with Simplifile.”

Individuals and organizations that regularly file documents with the county are invited to contact the Recorder’s Office or Simplifile for more information on how to take advantage of Simplifile eRecording services.
