Electronic Recording is the recording of public documents in a digital format, as opposed to the traditional paper format.
Electronic recording can take many forms.
In some cases, a paper document is scanned and then transmitted to a county recorder's office, where official stamps are affixed in a digital mode to a digital image. In other cases, a data set is transmitted to a recorder's office, where it is matched with another data set, creating a digital image of a document that doesn't exist on paper unless it is printed.
