• Submitters who send documents in electronically will continue to do so as they have in the past. Continue to submit documents through your eRecording vendor.
• All hyperlinks on the county website page will be updated as quickly as possible on May 9^th. If you are accessing the system and cannot pull a document, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you during this transition.

• Online indexes to all birth, death and marriages will be available.
• Fraud notification will be available with the new system. Simply register with your email address and you will be notified if a document is recorded in your name.
