This endorsement is the filing date of the instrument and is conclusive of the date and time of the filing in the absence of actual fraud. In lieu of filing an original of such instrument, a true copy thereof may be filed with an affidavit by the mortgagor or the mortgagee, or an agent of either, that it is a true copy. The secretary of state shall thereupon file and index the endorsed instrument.

5. When such mortgage is satisfied, released or cancelled, in whole or in part, and evidence thereof shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state, the secretary of state shall enter the date of such satisfaction, release or cancellation thereof in an appropriate record in his or her office.
