What Nationwide Title Clearing, Inc does

Nationwide Title Clearing, Inc. (NTC), operating as a Covius Solution since October 2021, is a Palm Harbor, Florida-based provider of post-close and life-of-loan services to the US residential mortgage industry. Founded in 1991 and now operating with 501-1,000 employees, NTC serves mortgage originators, servicers, capital markets investors, and government entities, with 10 of the top 15 largest US mortgage servicers reported as customers. Its core service offerings include lien release processing, assignments of mortgage, post-close final document processing, assignment verification reports (AVRs), title services, property reports, default services, collateral file review and remediation, document retrieval via a 4,000+ abstractor network, and secure document custody with RFID tracking for up to 2 million files.

The company's technology backbone is the PerfectDocs web-based platform, integrated with ICE Simplifile for eRecording at approximately 87% eRecord coverage, alongside the PortalLink client portal. Together these platforms handle document preparation, validation, notarization, recording, and exception/curative workflow for both MERS and non-MERS loans across more than 3,600 recording jurisdictions, sustaining a reported sub-1% rejection rate. A nationwide abstractor network covers 100% of the US with a 2.5-day average turn time, with about 80% of searches completed in-house. NTC was acquired by Covius in October 2021 and now operates within Covius's platform alongside Covius Settlement Services and Clayton capital markets solutions.

NTC generates revenue through a mix of per-transaction services (lien releases, assignments, AVRs), subscription/SaaS access to PerfectDocs and PortalLink (with a share-the-work model between NTC and clients), professional services for collateral file review and remediation, and managed services for document custody. Customers are acquired through a direct enterprise sales motion targeting top-tier lenders, servicers, and investors; pricing is quote-based and contract-based rather than publicly disclosed. The business is inherently cyclical, having processed a peak of 650,000 lien releases in a single month during the 2020-2021 refinance boom versus a typical ~160,000 monthly baseline.
