The Orange County Clerk-Recorder Department has surpassed 11 million electronically recorded documents.
Orange County made history in 1997 by implementing the first electronic recording delivery system in the nation. Today, 80% of all documents are recorded electronically in Orange County, making the process faster and more accessible for customers.
“Reaching 11 million electronically recorded documents is a remarkable accomplishment,” said Orange County Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen. “Electronic recording not only saves time and resources but also provides enhanced security. Every authorized submitter must pass a Department of Justice background check and Live Scan fingerprinting before approval. This ensures that our system remains one of the most secure in the nation and plays an important role in protecting the public from fraud.”
Since 2008, Orange County has partnered with Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego Counties to operate the SECURE (Statewide Electronic Courier Universal Recording Environment) system, which allows title, escrow, financial, and government institutions to record property documents across multiple counties from a single screen.
