Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Wayne County, MOCounty

Mo. Rev. Stat. 59.480 makes the recording of a discharge free and limits who may see or copy it; see the Missouri entry. The Recorder's fee schedule lists "Military Discharge" at "No Charge" (its "Federal tax Lien Discharge $7.50" line is a tax lien release, not a military discharge), and her formatting standards list "Military separation papers" among the documents exempt from the formatting rules, so no $25 non-standard fee applies. The online record search (SFFlexSuite, paid passes) is for land records; a discharge and its copies stay free under the statute, and copies go only to the veteran or an authorized party on the Recorders Association of Missouri's notarized request. Where. Recorder of Deeds Cindy Stout, 109 Walnut Street, P.O. Box 47, Greenville, MO 63944; 573-224-5600, ext. 257; [email protected]; 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m.
