HB1943 modifies provisions governing documents filed or recorded with the recorder of deeds in Missouri, focusing on fraud prevention and notary.

HB1943 introduces measures to enhance fraud prevention and regulate notary publics in Missouri. It mandates that county recorders of deeds delay the recording of deeds for at least five working days if they appear fraudulent, allowing property owners time to seek court orders to prevent recording. The bill also outlines penalties for notaries who fail to comply with state laws, including fines and imprisonment. Additionally, it requires vendors and manufacturers of notary seals to register with the secretary of state and verify the identity of purchasers.
