§ 103245 Amending Vital Records

• •The State Registrar must always send amendment copies to the county recorder with the original record.
• •Copies are also sent to the county’s local registrar only if the amendment happens within two years of the original registration.
• •The rule kicks in only after the amendment is accepted.

A family updates the ownership information on their house deed one year after the original deed was recorded.

Because the change is made within two years, the State Registrar will send a copy of the amendment to both the county recorder (who has the original deed) and the county’s local registrar. If the family waited three years to make the change, the State Registrar would only send it to the county recorder.
