Recording Services
The Crook County Clerk's office receives recording in person or through the mail. All documents submitted must meet all recording requirements and must be the original document.
We also offer eRecording Services, see below.
eRecording Services
The Crook County Clerk's office offers electronic document recording (eRecording). This service allows you to record your documents more rapidly than if the documents are mailed. Documents must be submitted through a third-party vendor. In other words, we do not accept documents sent to us by email.
All eRecordings must be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi scanned black and white image.
Currently, Crook County has contracts with Simplifile, Corporation Service Company, Indecomm Global and eRecording Partners Network (EPN). Other interested vendors are welcome to contact our office.
