Rejected Documents: There is no additional eRecording Service Fee for the first resubmission of rejected documents. However, thereafter, each re-submission of the same document will incur a courtesy discounted rate of $25 eRecording Handling Fee.

There is no mark-up of county recorder fees. Client is required to store a preferred means of payment with Submitter. Visa, Mastercard, American Express are accepted (and may be subject to a 3% service fee). Client can avoid the 3% service fee by storing Bank Account information for ACH with Submitter. Client’s chosen payment method will be automatically billed the same day the documents are recorded. (If the total transaction exceeds $500, the Submitter may request an additional down payment and a 3% service fee will be charged unless paid by ACH.) Checks are acceptable means of payment subject to credit approval. If Client uses ACH, a direct link will be emailed to Client via Quickbooks Online with the safety of encryption.

Document Review: Submitter will review each document at no cost. There is no guarantee that the document will be accepted by the county recorder. The client is responsible for the content of the document and the formatting of the document. Submitter encourages Client to review each document carefully. If Client fails to discover a defect causing a rejection, Submitter will make one re-submission at no additional cost.

Submitter will accept documents with remote online notarizations that have been executed in accordance with the notary laws of that State. Client is required to deliver or mail the original documents to eRecording Experts at its corporate office in Oceanside, CA.
