I found out about the paper size problem sending a legal client a document to Germany to be signed for filing in an American court (I am in probate court which is still fairly paper heavy…) and for our County Recorder - deeds need to be original signed documents too. . She has to buy “special” American sized paper for purposes of dealing with her affairs in the U.S. a pain I didn’t even know existed!

It's incredible that we haven't managed to standardize the bare minimum across the world to make it easier for everyone :/
