RECORDATION OF DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITHOUT PAYMENT OF THE STATUTORY FEE

According to an opinion of the Comptroller General dated July 18, 1951 (90 USPQ 194), there is no legal objection to the recordation of an assignment submitted by an agency of the United States government without requiring that agency to pay the statutory fee.


However, if a fee is received with a document, it will be applied toward the recordation.
