Simplifile, the nation’s largest electronic recording (e-recording) service, is now available in Cheatham County, Tenn., enabling recording customers to quickly and cost-effectively record documents online with the Register of Deeds office.
"One of the goals I have had since becoming Register is the modernization of office practices, particularly through the increased use of technology,” said Cheatham County Register of Deeds Patrick Smith. "By partnering with a company like Simplifile, we have the ability to accept documents for recording electronically. This process is faster, helps expedite resolving any errors in documents submitted to our office, and requires no new taxpayer dollars to implement. This is good for consumers and the citizens of Cheatham County.”
Using Simplifile’s secure, web-based service, customers ranging from title companies to banks, attorneys, and lien filers, can scan or upload and submit documents directly to the register’s office. In minutes, the documents are reviewed, stamped, recorded, and returned back to the submitter electronically.
