Process of acquiring an account and submitting a document was VERY easy. Failure was on the Recorders office, for not accepting the survey.
Cheers.

This is an option for recording that worked flawlessly with my county government. Given Covid19 has closed county offices to the public as well as the personal kiosks options to record shrunk dramatically. I recommend Deeds.Com for your recording needs.
