order to be filed or recorded. A document that is required to contain a social security
number may be recorded in the real estate records with the social security number
redacted.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a copy of a document that includes a
social security number is requested, the recorder is not required to redact the social
security number unless the document was filed or recorded with the recorder after

3. A document that must include a social security number under chapters 14-03 and
23-02.1 may be processed and recorded under those chapters; however, the social

may be provided to the public.
