If, through error of the registrar of deeds, a deed or other evidence is accepted for recordation and does not contain the required parcel identification number or derivation clause, then the deed or instrument shall be recorded, and the absence of such number or clause shall in no way affect the preference, priority or legal validity of such deed or other evidence of transfer.
