What you'll need to record it

  1. The notarized document itself. An online notarization produces an electronic document. Bexar County accepts electronic recording through CSC eRecording, Simplifile, Erxchange (Xerox Commercial Solutions), eRecording Partners Network, Indecomm Global Services, 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 Bexar County Clerk's Office, Recordings Division 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.
