If an officer of a county or city is required or authorized by law to record, copy, recopy, or replace a document, plat, paper, written instrument, or book on file or of record in his or her office, the officer may do so pursuant to the records media act.

     If an original document, plat, paper, written instrument, record, or book of record filed or of record in the office of an officer described in section 1 is copied or replaced, and the officer is required by law to certify in or on the copy or replacement that it is a true and correct copy of the original, a copy of the certification by the officer, similarly made and included at the end of the copy or replacement, complies with the law.

     When any record or replacement thereof in the office of any such officer is produced by such process, a correction, alteration, indorsement or entry, required or authorized to be made of or on any instrument or paper or on the record thereof, may be made by filing or inserting copies or recopies produced by the same process of the page or part of the page, so corrected, altered, or on which such indorsement or entry is made, next to the place wherein the copy or record of such instrument or paper is contained or in such other manner as such officer shall deem advisable or practicable. The uncorrected or unaltered record or copy shall also be preserved in its original condition and location and not destroyed or obliterated. The re-recording, re-filing or new instrument shall contain a statement that it is given to correct, and shall state where the original record or file may be found.

     Transcripts or certified copies of such copies, records, reproductions and replacements, shall be considered as transcripts or certified copies of the originals.

     A reproduction in a medium pursuant to the records media act or a reproduction consisting of a printout or other output readable by sight from such a medium, which reproduction is produced under this or any other law, shall be considered an original for all purposes and is admissible in evidence in like manner as the original.
