Every person desirous of having recorded any document which may be recorded by the Public Recorder shall present the same to the Public Recorder with one record copy which shall be printed, typewritten, photographed or reproduced in such other visible form as may be approved by the Public Recorder.
The Public Recorder shall not be required to record any document unless —
a record copy is presented to the Public Recorder with the original in accordance with subsection (1); and
there is paid to the Public Recorder in respect of a document containing one or more pages, a fee of one hundred dollars.
Notwithstanding subsection (2)(b), where a person who is sixty-five years of age or older submits a deed poll to the Public Recorder to be recorded, the person shall pay to the Public Recorder fifty percent of the fee specified in subsection (2)(b).
The Public Recorder shall diligently compare the record copy of any document with the original and shall certify every page thereof to be a true copy of the original after making any emendation that may be necessary to correct any discrepancies therein. The Public Recorder shall then bind the record copy and retain and number the same, and it shall thereupon become the legally recorded copy of the original, and shall be sufficient evidence of the contents of the original as recorded.
