Regarding Registered Land Recording
- Registered Land is now accepting documents for electronic recording through Simplifile.
- Submit your documents for pre-approval to [email protected]. Pre-approval allows the Registered Land staff to review the title and the documents prior to you presenting the documents at the recording desk, sending them in through the mail or submitting them electronically.
- Original Registered Land documents will be returned to customers once the recording process is completed.
A return envelope with postage will be required so that we can return the documents to you via the USPS.
Thank you – Register Kathryn A. Toomey
