Document Requirements

Confirm current requirements with the recorder's office before submitting documents.

Paper sizeNo larger than 8 1/2 x 14 inches (statewide, 19 O.S. § 298(B))
First page top margin2 in (statewide, 19 O.S. § 298(B))
Other margins1 in (statewide, 19 O.S. § 298(B))
Ink and paperClearly legible, in the English language, using xerographically reproducible dark ink, on paper of a color that is xerographically reproducible by the county clerk's copying equipment (statewide, 19 O.S. § 298(B))
Grantee address requiredYes (statewide, 19 O.S. § 298(A))

StatewideThe 2-inch top margin applies to all documents, not only the first page. Documents must leave an area free of printed information large enough for documentary stamps, mortgage tax certification, and the clerk's recording information. Stray markings or part of a signature in the margin do not void acceptance, and no fee or fine is charged for them.

StatewideInstruments affecting specific real property must be an original or a certified copy of an original and must describe the property by its specific legal description. A clerk must accept a nonconforming document if it is an original or certified copy, legible without magnification, xerographically reproducible, meets all other statutory requirements, and the nonconforming fee is paid. Where more than 25 legal descriptions need separate index entries, they must be sorted by addition, block, and lot, or by township, range, and section.
