Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act

The act governs the electronic recording of real property documents, establishing that a document in electronic form and an electronic signature satisfy legal requirements that such instruments be written, signed, or presented as originals. It permits documents to be notarized electronically, and authorizes recording offices to receive, record, and return real property instruments in electronic form rather than on paper. It also provides for a designated authority to adopt implementing standards so that recording offices handle electronic documents consistently, and coordinates the act's operation with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.
