E- RECORDING VENDORS AND THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION

For your conveyance, we encourage you to investigate opportunities to e-record your documents. We have multiple vendors who offer e-recording with Canyon County. Below is a list and contact information if you are interested in that service as it may help in avoiding delays due to inappropriate fees being mailed with your documents.

How E-recording Works:

  1. Send: Submitters electronically prepare or scan, upload and submit documents through a web-based service for recording.
  2. Receive: The County or recording jurisdiction receives the documents electronically for processing.
  3. Review: Documents are reviewed by the county. Should the County find any documents that don’t follow Idaho recording laws, the document will be rejected and returned back to the submitter for correction along with a reason for the rejection.
  4. Record: After they have been reviewed and approved, documents will be stamped with the recording info, and officially recorded with the county.
  5. Return: The County returns the stamped, recorded documents back to the submitter electronically, notifying them that the document(s) have been recorded.

What would you find recorded? Any instrument or judgment affecting the title to or possession of real property may be recorded under chapter 55-801. (Idaho Statute 55-801 )
