RE: New Underwriting Bulletin on Recording

It is our practice to provide our policy issuing offices with guidelines for the "Best Practices". Stewart's audit practices have suggested to all policy issuing offices that the submission of all instruments to the County Clerk or City Register should take place within five to seven (5-7) business days.

Effective immediately, all policy issuing offices of Stewart Title Insurance Company, are required to submit for recording all instrument's associated with a Stewart Title Insurance Company policy, in a form acceptable to the Clerk/Register, together with the necessary recording fee's and taxes to the appropriate County Clerk's or Register's office within seven (7) business days from the date of closing or funding.
