Submitters

Submitters will enjoy the benefits and efficiency of electronic recording. No need for multiple computer systems or software. No switching of interfaces needed! By using a common interface, submitters can submit documents to multiple counties for electronic recording with ease to all counties participating in SECURE.

The SECURE system has enhanced features such as concurrent recordings, preservation of chain of title, discreet recording folders, integrated scanning interface and instant confirmation of recording fees.

SECURE went “live” on Dec. 1, 2009 with five title companies recording property documents electronically in Orange (the lead county) and Los Angeles Counties. Other counties that have gone "live" recently include Santa Barbara, Riverside and San Mateo.

To submit documents electronically through SECURE, workstations need to meet a minimum level of hardware requirements.

The California DOJ ERDS program requires submitters of type 1 documents to be given a secure access role. This requires fingerprinting. The ERDS program also requires a digital certificate for sending both type 1 and type 2 electronic documents for recording. For more information, please refer to the documentation on the DOJ ERDS web site.
