Section 35-2-33

Furnishing copies of records; admissibility of division records in court proceedings.

On request of the chief of the division of land surveys, all probate judges or other recorders of deeds, mortgages or other instruments dealing with any interest in real property, together with all departments, boards or agencies of state government, county or city government shall furnish to the division of land surveys certified copies of desired records which are in their custody. This service shall be free of cost when possible; otherwise it shall be at actual cost of reproduction of the records. On the same basis of cost, the division shall furnish records within its custody to other agencies or departments of state, county or city, certifying them. Copies of records of the division, when so certified by the chief of the division, shall be admitted in evidence, without further identification, in any court proceeding in the state if the substance of the record is properly admissible in the proceeding.
