Faxing to St. Louis City Recorder of Deeds, Missouri — FAQ
Recorded St. Louis City instruments are public, and a copy request is one of the things the office handles.

A title company confirming a payoff, a lender needing a recorded copy, or an escrow agent circulating a document all use fax. Online fax sends it without a machine and returns a delivery confirmation for the closing file.
Ask the recorder of deeds in St. Louis City for its working fax before you send. Call the office's main line and ask whether your request goes by fax or must be mailed or filed online. That one verification keeps a records request out of the wrong queue.
