  1. The notarized document itself. An online notarization produces an electronic document. Volusia County accepts electronic recording through Corporate Service Company (CSC), eRecording Partners Network (ePN), Simplifile, Hopdox, so a title company or eRecording vendor can usually submit the electronic file directly.
  2. Recording fees. Fees are set by the county and state and change; check the current fee schedule on the official Volusia County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Recording site before you submit.
  3. Any required state forms for your document type (for example, transfer or property-tax forms for deeds). The county site lists what it requires.
  4. Confirmation the recipient accepts it. The receiving office or party decides whether to accept a remotely notarized document. If unsure, call the office before your notary session.
