eRecording

eRecording allows financial institutions, law firms and other businesses involved in real estate transactions to submit documents electronically for recording. Recorded documents are returned faster than waiting to receive them back through the mail in 7-10 business days. Watch this short video to learn more about the eRecording process.

Our recording hours are 8:30am – 4:30pm, Monday – Friday minus County Holidays. It is important to submit documents with your vendor before 3:00pm to ensure recording in the same business day.

Vendors

Vendors act as a secure courier service to and from Sedgwick County’s recording system. Each vendor has their own interface and fee schedule. It is recommended by the Sedgwick County Register of Deeds for customers to contact all 3 vendors to determine which Vendor will work best for their organization. If you would like to take advantage of recording documents electronically, contact one of these vendors:
