Those are just copies anyway, the actual deed ( as long as it was legally recorded) is at the court house. So just go to the court house and get a new copy. The one on file at the court house is considered the legal binding deed, until replaced.

Go to the County Recorder's Office and get another copy for your records. It will probably cost a dollar for the copy.

Hmm - must depend upon where you live. I have the actual original Deed to my house with all the stamps and seals on it, returned to me after filing.
