Approval of documents. (1) If the Director finds that the documents and papers so delivered comply with this Code, he must place on file in his office the by-laws, form of subscription agreement, bonds or securities, and one of the duplicate originals of the articles of incorporation, and endorse upon the other duplicate original his approval, and the month, day and year of approval and deliver it to the incorporators.
