§ 297. Certified copies may be recorded. A copy of a record, or of
any recorded instrument, certified or authenticated so as to be entitled
to be read in evidence, may be again recorded in any office where the
original would be entitled to be recorded. Such record has the same
effect as if the original were so recorded. A copy of a conveyance or
mortgage affecting separate parcels of real property situated in
different counties, or of the record of such conveyance or mortgage in
one of such counties, certified or authenticated so as to be entitled to
be read in evidence, may be recorded in any county in which any such
parcel is situated, with the same effect as if the original instrument
authenticated as required by section three hundred and ten of this
chapter were so recorded.
