Legislation Changes to
Certificates of Title
The NSW Land Registry Service is changing so that most documents lodged are done so electronically.
From 11 October 2021 all certificates of title (CTs) will no longer be issued and paper dealings will no longer be accepted for lodgement.
This means that if we hold your paper certificate of title it cannot be used on any sale and is only of historic or sentimental value only.
We will continue to hold your CT for you unless we hear from you otherwise.

The NSW Land Registry Services changed their requirements and their practice, and their records are now electronic only and the only title record. Paper copies issued previously are now of sentimental value only.

Originals and not emails of authorities and certified ID are required.
