RecordingFast™ Electronic Document Recording
Record important construction and credit-related documents electronically without driving to the courthouse, relying on overnight delivery, or waiting for documents to travel through the mail.
RecordingFast™ from NACM South Atlantic provides a convenient way to electronically submit eligible documents for recording with participating county recording offices.
From Your Desk to the Public Record
Electronic document recording replaces many of the manual steps traditionally associated with delivering documents to a county recording office.
What Is Electronic Document Recording?
Electronic document recording, often called eRecording, is the process of electronically transmitting a document that must be recorded in the public records directly to an appropriate county clerk, comptroller, recorder, register of deeds, or similar recording authority.
Instead of driving a document to a courthouse or sending it by mail or overnight delivery, RecordingFast™ provides NACM members with a faster and more convenient electronic alternative for eligible documents.
Documents You May Need to Record
RecordingFast™ is especially useful for documents commonly encountered by construction credit professionals.
Claim of Lien
When a Claim of Lien is ready for recording, electronic submission can eliminate the need to personally deliver the document or send it to the recording office by overnight carrier.
Satisfaction of Claim of Lien
Once a lien has been satisfied, RecordingFast™ can provide a convenient way to submit an eligible Satisfaction of Claim of Lien for recording.
Notice of Commencement
Eligible Notices of Commencement and other construction-related documents may also be electronically submitted to participating recording offices.
