SYCAMORE, IL – Beginning August 3, 2026, the DeKalb County Recorder’s Office will begin offering electronic recording (eRecording) services for real estate documents.
eRecording allows title companies, attorneys, lenders, and other authorized submitters to securely submit documents electronically for recording rather than delivering paper documents by mail or in person. Documents submitted electronically will be reviewed using the same recording standards and requirements as paper documents, and once recorded, the completed documents will be returned electronically.
Recorder Tasha Sims said adding eRecording is another step in modernizing the services offered by the Recorder’s Office while continuing to provide customers with choices.
“We’ve heard from local banks, title companies, and others who have been interested in eRecording, and we’re excited to finally make it available,” Sims said. “This gives customers another convenient option for recording documents while maintaining the same level of security, accuracy, and customer service they expect from our office.”
Sims emphasized that traditional recording services will continue to be available.
“Offering eRecording doesn’t mean we’re eliminating paper recording,” Sims said. “Customers who prefer to mail documents or bring them into our office are absolutely welcome to continue doing so. I believe it’s important that we offer options so people can choose what works best for them.”
