This page provides general information about how to get started with electronic recording using the CeRTNA Electronic Recording Delivery System (ERDS) platform.

California law allows any submitter, which meets the legal requirements, to electronically record with California Recorders participating in the ERDS program.  CeRTNA provides the ERDS platform for over 20 California Counties.  The Current list of CeRTNA counties can be found on our District Map.  

The easiest way to electronically record with counties serviced by CERTNA is to use one of the CeRTNA Approved Agents.  Please reach out to one or more of them for more information.

Your selected agent will work with you to submit the necessary documentation to become a CeRTNA submitter.  Submitters will need the following documentation:

• An agreement with a CERTNA approved submitting agent.
• An executed MOU with CERTNA. This is provided and processed by the agent.
• Evidence (Certificate of Insurance) of liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000.*
  • *Not required for title companies, lenders or government agencies.

If you record more than 10,000 documents a year for various submitters and would like to become an approved agent through CeRTNA, please reach out to us using the Contact Us form.

Government agencies should reach out directly to the county recorders office to begin the process of onboardng with CeRTNA for eRecording.  More info can be found here: Getting Started with eRecording - G2G Platform
