What is a Conformed Copy?

A conformed copy is an exact photocopy of the completed document, made by the customer and presented to the examiner at the time of the recording.

For a fee, the examiner will affix the recording information, which includes the document number and date of recording on the copy to be conformed. If the document is being submitted via mail, a self-addressed stamped envelope is required.
