E-recorded documents still have to meet recorder standards
Cape Girardeau County accepts e-recorded documents through secure processors, but the Recorder says those documents must meet the same standards as paper recordings.
Electronic recording can make a Cape Girardeau County filing move faster. It does not lower the recording standards. E-recorded documents still have to meet the same rules as paper documents.
Two basic checks come first. The document must relate to property or an entity in Cape Girardeau County, and payment has to come with the recording.
For a homeowner, this is mostly a routing note. Simple recording questions can start with the Recorder of Deeds. Prepared document work often belongs with the title company, lender, attorney, or other professional handling the filing. E-recording is a delivery method, not a shortcut around document requirements.
That is especially worth checking before a deed, deed of trust, release, or other property document is submitted.
