(a) If a law requires, as a condition for recording, that a document be an original, be on paper or another tangible medium, or be in writing, the requirement is satisfied by an electronic document satisfying this part.
(b) If a law requires, as a condition for recording, that a document be signed, the requirement is satisfied by an electronic signature or a digitized image of a wet signature.
(c) A requirement that a document or a signature associated with a document be notarized, acknowledged, verified, witnessed, or made under oath is satisfied if the electronic signature or a digitized image of a wet signature of the person authorized to perform that act, and all other information required to be included, is attached to or logically associated with the document or signature. A physical or electronic image of a stamp, impression, or seal need not accompany an electronic signature.
(d) (1) A county register may receive for registration electronic documents transmitted by electronic filing vendors on behalf of those persons authorized to submit electronic records pursuant to § 47-10-118(d).(2) Subject to the requirements under subdivision (d)(1), a county register may receive for registration electronic documents created by making a digitized image of an original paper document that is eligible for registration and has the certification required by § 66-24-101(d).(3) All recordings of electronic documents eligible for registration pursuant to this subsection (d) are validly registered when accepted for recording by the county register.
