b. In addition to the fee required under paragraph "a", and sections 462A.82 and 462A.84, a surcharge of five dollars shall be required.

The applicant shall furnish information the department requires concerning the original certificate and the circumstances of its loss, mutilation, or destruction.

Of each surcharge collected as required under subsection 1, paragraph "b", the county recorder shall remit five dollars to the department of revenue and finance for deposit in the general fund of the state.
