Registration
You can initiate the registration of an eNote with MERS using our API.
Registration enrolls an eNote in MERS and establishes your organization as the controller of the note. You can register one or multiple documents in a single request.
Registration is an asynchronous action. Upon successfully submitting the registration request we return the registration mers_action_id. You can use the GET endpoint to retrieve the status of the registration.
Registration actions
Two action types are available when registering an eNote:
- Registration: Standard eNote registration. Your organization is established as the controller.
- RegistrationAndTransferControl: Registration combined with an immediate transfer of control to your broker. Used when a broker MERS organization is associated with the eMortgage package.
