What is e-Recording?
e-Recording is the process of sending and recording documents in an electronic format. Often, as in Greenville County, a submission vendor works with the submitter to facilitate the transmission of documents to the recording office. e-Recording provides a secure method for the transfer of documents and recording fees to the Register of Deeds Office. In addition, it decreases the amount of time required to deliver, record, and return documents.

The Uniform Real Property Recording Act was signed by the Governor of South Carolina in May 2008, authorizing recording offices to accept electronic documents. In April 2010, South Carolina’s Electronic Recording Committee published official standards for transmitting and recording electronic documents. The Greenville County Register of Deeds was privileged to record the state’s first electronically transmitted document on April 28, 2010.

How Do I e-Record?
The Register of Deeds currently accepts documents from three e-recording submission vendors. To e-record with Greenville County, simply contact one of these vendors for information on how to get started:
