Have you ever heard about less-paper-office movement? Have not? That’s the article for you!
Paper clips and staples? That’s so last century.
Well, not entirely. The vision of the “paperless office” hasn’t exactly panned out, but a trend toward the “less-paper office” seems to keep gaining in popularity.
The Nassau County Clerk’s Office is one of the latest joining the movement, embracing electronic recording and stepping away from stamps and couriers. The office held a kickoff meeting Wednesday to introduce the new service to the public.
It’s costing the county nothing, said Shannon Crow, a representative with the clerk’s office.
The office has partnered with Simplifile, a national company specializing in e-recording services, so that title companies, abstractors, attorneys, banks and others can submit land record documents, such as deeds and mortgages, from their own offices.
“Think of it as Fed-Ex through your computers,” said Richard Jackman, a Simplifile representative.
Nassau County businesses that want to submit documents via the Internet will set up an account with Simplifile through its Web site. It is generally about $395 to gain access to the Internet service, Jackman said, then $5 per document transmitted, regardless of page length. If the business wants, Simplifile will send someone to provide training.
By saving time and increasing efficiency, e-recording will save the county money, Crow said, but it’s “hard to put a dollar amount on.” She added that the intent is for e-recording to also save businesses money.
