Can additional correct documents be recorded after an assignment record is expunged?

Yes, additional correct documents can be recorded after an assignment record is expunged. The MPEP 323.01(d) states:

An additional assignment of the ‘correct’ document may be recorded in addition to the redacted version where the redacted version is incomplete or the original document was not correct.

This provision allows for the recording of accurate and complete information when:

• The redacted version of the expunged document is incomplete
• The original document contained errors or inaccuracies

This process ensures that the assignment records contain the most accurate and up-to-date information possible, even after an expungement procedure has been completed.
