Electronic Recording in
Massachusetts
|
| Since June 2005, the
Middlesex North Registry of Deeds has operated a pilot program
that has been testing electronic recording of documents in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Since that time, we have
recorded thousands of documents electronically.
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.
