If any applicant desires to purchase any of the lands mentioned in Section 7406, he shall, before filing his application with the commission, properly prepare all papers and documents on the forms prescribed by the commission and the Department of the Interior, and shall also surrender the indemnity certificate or scrip which he desires the commission to use as bases for indemnity. If the applicant complies with the provisions of this article and of law, the commission, unless it first determines that the listing to the State of the lands sought to be purchased by the applicant would be contrary to the best interests of the State, shall thereupon communicate with the United States Land Offices and ask that the lands sought to be purchased be listed to the State in lieu of the bases named in the surrender certificate. The applicant shall also pay to the commission at the time of the presentation of the application all fees required by the United States Land Offices for the location, shall furnish all county recorders’ or other certificates required, and shall pay for publication of all notices required by the United States Land Offices.
The county recorder, upon the request of any person or his agent or attorney, shall forthwith, on the payment of the fees allowed by law, furnish the certificate required by this section, or any other certificate that may be required by the rules or regulations of the United States Land Office.
