Electronic Recording in Massachusetts

Since June 2005, the Middlesex North Registry of Deeds has recorded documents electronically.  As of the end of August 2009, more than 16,000 documents have been recorded using that technology with excellent results.  The documents submitted electronically range from dozens of assignments transmitted by major national lenders to full closings conducted by local attorneys.  

Here is an overview of how electronic recording works:

  • Sign up with one of our authorized "intermediaries" (see list below)
  • Conduct closing at your office
  • Scan original document to create an electronic image
  • Log on to intermediary's secure website and enter data about your document
  • Upload the document image you just created
  • Press "send to the registry" button
  • At the registry, your document image and data pop up on one of our recording terminals
  • We verify the quality of the image and the accuracy of your data
  • We press "record" button and the document is on record with recording data and document image immediately available on our website
  • You immediately get an electronic receipt with all recording information along with an electronic copy of the recorded document.
  • Fees are paid by electronic funds transfer from you to the intermediary to us.

.
