Electronic Recording

Electronic Recording  of Documents
Electronic recording of documents via the Internet began in the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds on July 8, 2003. Currently about 15% of documents in this office are received electronically.  On January 8, 2008 this office was the first in Wisconsin to begin eRecording deeds. Click here for JS Online article

Electronic recording does more than simply eliminate paper. It automates document examination, fee collection, image retention and data processing.

Electronic recording results in greater efficiency and better use of existing resources.  Productivity increases by minimizing time requirements, reducing costs and increasing document acceptance and accuracy.

Title companies, financial institutions, law firms and other businesses involved in real estate transactions recognize great benefits from electronic recording.  Counties reduce the manual processing effort associated with paper processing from days and weeks to just minutes.  The electronic process reduces risks for title companies and reduces post-closing costs for lenders.
