Register Counties window

Overview

This topic provides information on how to use the Register Counties window.

Simplifile makes it easy to find out which counties work with Simplifile and can display those counties in the Counties page. The Register Counties window is used to identify which counties across the United States can interact with Simplifile. You may add all the counties across the United States that interact with Simplifile by selecting the Add all one click counties button above the State ‑ Add County table or you can add the counties a state and county at a time. The choice is yours.

Below is an example.

If you select the Arrow icon to the left of the state name, a table of counties appears below the state and may have a Start registration process button. When the button is pressed, Simplifile displays the requirements page for that county. Below is an example.
