You will have to contact each county recording authority you deal with to ascertain if they will accept documents signed in blue ink. There is an IN Code, IC 36-2-17-2, that requires county recorders, county sheriffs, super intendants and other authorities to prepare and sign documents in black ink. Failure to do so can result in a Class C Felony. Therefore some recording authorities will only accept documents signed in black ink. However, I am not aware of any IN Code that requires the documents to be signed in black ink by the consumer, however I did not research it. Our County Recorder requires black ink, therefore we keep a supply of black ink pens at the closing tables.
