In Arizona, Recorder's Social Security Redaction Project Complete

Phoenix, AZ - In an effort to reduce some of the identity theft anxieties, Maricopa County Recorder, Helen Purcell, is calling a press conference to report on a recently completed project.  The Press Conference will take place at MCTEC (Maricopa County Tabulations and Elections Center) 510 South Third Avenue, Phoenix.

"The first phase of our Program to redact Social Security numbers is now completed and all recorded documents that can be viewed online, some 90,000,000 images, have no visible social security numbers. This was accomplished through a contract with AmCad, a full service technology service and solutions provider for state and local government agencies.  Although it has not been determined that recorded documents are the main source of ID theft, I felt our office needed to take a proactive stance," said County Recorder Purcell.

In addition to defining the procedures and the vast number of documents that were redacted Ryan Schoenfeld, Senior Vice President of AmCad will be present to answer questions along with the county recorder.
