Section 5-45, and, if required by this Act to be filed in duplicate, one copy (which may be a signed carbon or photocopy) shall be delivered to the Office of the Secretary of State; collected by the Secretary of State in connection with the filing of the document shall be tendered to the Secretary of State; and document does not conform to law, he or she shall, when all fees have been paid: word "Filed" and the month, day, and year of the filing thereof; document; and to that person's representative.
