6. No document which under this Act ought to have a stamp impressed thereon or affixed thereto shall be received or filed or be used in relation to any proceedings in the registry of deeds office, or be of any validity for any purpose whatsoever, unless or until the same shall have the proper stamp impressed thereon or affixed thereto: Provided, that if at any time it shall appear that any such document has through mistake or inadvertence been received or filed or used without having such stamp impressed thereon or affixed thereto, it shall be lawful for the registrar of deeds, if he think fit, to order in writing that such stamp shall be impressed thereon or affixed thereto; and thereupon, when a stamp shall have been impressed on such document or affixed thereto in compliance with any such order in writing, such document, and every proceeding in reference thereto, shall be as valid and effectual as if such stamp had been impressed thereon or affixed thereto in the first instance.
