Document Requirements

K.S.A. 28-115(e) If sufficient space is not provided for the necessary recording information and certification on a document, such recording information shall be placed on an added sheet and such sheet shall be counted as a page. The document shall be of sufficient legibility so as to produce a clear and legible reproduction. If a document is judged not to be of sufficient legibility so as to produce a clear and legible reproduction, such document shall be accompanied by an exact copy which shall be of sufficient legibility so as to produce a clear and legible reproduction and which shall be recorded contemporaneously with the document and shall be counted as additional pages. The register of deeds may reject any document which is not of sufficient legibility so as to produce a clear and legible reproduction.
Our recording requirements for the first page include a three (3) inch minimum top margin and one (1) inch for the remaining margins. If a document does not meet these requirements, we will have to add an additional sheet of paper for the recording information, which will add additional recording fees. Each additional page needs to include a one (1) inch margin on all 4 sides. Documents may be letter or legal size.
Please use a good, clear font and font size for your documents and that the entire document is clear and legible. Copying a previously recorded document and using that for the legal description often does not reproduce well. The Register of Deeds may reject any document presented for recording that is not of sufficient legibility as per K.S.A. 28-115(e).
