If you go to King County Recorders website you’ll see that eRecording is an option. <a href="https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/records-licensing/recorders-office/recording-documents.aspx">https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/records-licensing/recorders-office/recording-documents.aspx</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>You can get the information to set up e-Recording account with King County Recorder’s Office by emailing them at <a href="mailto:KingCountyRecorders.CustomerService@kingcounty.gov">KingCountyRecorders.CustomerService@kingcounty.gov</a> .

E-Recording is done via scanning the original document and uploading. Recording fees can be paid by setting up escrow account with KCRO or, better yet for me, via credit card. There is a convenience fee for the service but no ongoing monthly or annual fee as with other third-party services. Documents are recorded and in system quickly and there is no waiting for return of original documents. I just e-recorded death certificate with REETA and could view online through my account what I e-recorded. I asked customer service folks if there was suggestion about affixing recording number to original document. Response was that the images after e-recording will have recording stamp on them in lieu of a printed recording label. The document image can be printed and kept with original document. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>I’ll definitely continue to e-record documents in King County in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Karen<br>Law Offices of Karen P.
