The boxes do not allow you to add the entire information. The after recording return to box would not let me add a zipcode.
Thanks for the feedback Rhonda, we’ll take a look at that input field.

Being new at this, the system was somewhat difficult to understand at first. It took a couple of tries before I got it. It seems to be somewhat slow as well. However, it's a wonderful idea to have documents recorded from the comfort of your home, especially in the times that we are in with COVID19. I definitely don't mind paying the fee which I thought was reasonable.
Thank you!
