TO REQUIRE A COUNTY RECORDER TO VERIFY CERTAIN INFORMATION BEFORE RECORDING A DEED TO REAL ESTATE.

SB 406 requires county recorders to verify identification information before recording a deed to real estate. If a deed is presented in person, the grantor or their representative must show a valid photo identification or driver's license. For deeds submitted by mail, the grantor must include a photocopy of their valid photo identification. This process directly affects individuals and entities transferring property and county recording offices, though certain government entities are exempt from these verification requirements.
