Register of Deeds E-Recording Symposium

Please keep checking this page for updates.

In today’s competitive market, being able to save time and money, while supplying superior service to your clients and customers is critical. Electronic recording provides the opportunity to do all three while maintaining the service you expect from your local Register of Deeds office. On May 11th, Kent and Ottawa County offered an E-recording Symposium to educate our users on the ease and benefits of E-recording.

The Symposium was well attended. The participants learned about the legislation making E-recording a reality and heard from First American Title Company how easy and beneficial e-recording is.
