Illinois Document Standardization Act

Public Act #87-1211, effective January 1, 1995

The Illinois Legislature has enacted a revision to the Recording Act (55 ILCS 5/3-5018), effective for documents dated after January 1, 1995, which provides for the standardization of recorded documents. Those documents recorded with dates subsequent to January 1, 1995, which do not conform to the new requirements, will require additional recording fees amounting to twice the base recording fee.

The following standards are required under the new law:

1. The document shall consist of one or more individual sheets measuring 8½” X 11”, not permanently bound, and not a continuous form.
2. The document shall be legibly printed in black ink, typewritten, or computer generated. Signatures and dates may be in contrasting colors as long as they will reproduce clearly.
3. The document shall be on white paper of not less than 20# weight, and shall have a clean margin of at least ½” on all four sides.
4. The first page of the document shall contain a blank space, measuring at least 3” X 5”, in the upper right corner.
5. The document shall not have any attachment stapled or otherwise affixed to any page.
6. Any document dated after January 1, 1995 that does not conform to these standards shall not be recorded except upon payment of the additional non-standard fee.
