BENTON -- Recording documents in Scott County just got easier.

County recorders from New Madrid, Mississippi, Stoddard, Dunklin and Pemiscot counties as well as representatives from four or five title companies gathered at the Scott County Recorder of Deeds Tom Dirnberger's office Tuesday to watch the office's first e-recording take place.

Dirnberger said his office is the first in this area to embrace this technology. "There are 22 counties in the state who do e-recordings," he said.

Dave Mudd, chief technology officer for Mobilis Technologies in Blue Springs, said many of those counties are now e-recording 50-80 percent of their documents.

The first e-recording was a five-document package of warranty deeds and deeds of trust for a loan closing submitted by SEMO Title in Sikeston.

Packages are a group of documents that are recorded together or rejected as a group, Mudd said.

Pending packages are listed on a grid in the order they are received, he said. A document is selected from the list and then reviewed on a computer monitor.
