eRecording Recipient Guide
Welcome to Simplifile!
Published June 24, 2026
Overview
Welcome to Simplifile, the easy‑to‑use online service that speeds up your recording process and saves you time and money. Simplifile provides a streamlined system that lets you easily receive, record, and return electronic documents with little or no delay.
Submitters create electronic packages and fill them with one or more electronic documents that need to be recorded. These packages are then submitted to you for review, acceptance or rejection, and recording. Electronic originals cannot be changed or altered after submission. Detailed reports and an archived recorded document history help keep your files organized and secure.
This Simplifile eRecord Recipient Guide contains an overview of how to use Simplifile to process documents sent to you for eRecording.
You or your administrator may need to do some setup tasks before you can use Simplifile for eRecording. You need to have the appropriate permission before you can complete these tasks.
- Before a person can work with documents submitted for eRecording, that person must have a user account in Simplifile.
- You can add a digital signature to Simplifile that the system can automatically apply to approved documents.
- Document reviewers need to be able to choose from a list of rejection reasons so that submitters know why a document was returned without being recorded.
