Office of the Registrar General update
Dear colleagues,
We hope you are well.
2021 has been off to a busy start, as we continue our work to improve the land title system in NSW.
Over 97% of all paper dealings in NSW are now available electronically, with the remaining residual documents being made available over the course of the year.
Consultation on the Real Property Amendment (Certificates of Title) Bill closed last month, thank you for your feedback. Further below you’ll find instructions on how to provide input to the strata statutory review, which closes on 7 April 2021.
You'll also find important information on compliance audit requests, which should be taken seriously by Electronic Lodgment Network Operator (ELNO) subscribers. Ignoring it can result in a suspension which temporarily stops the ability to lodge dealings.
As always, please continue to contact us if you have any issues or questions we can help you with: www.registrargeneral.nsw.gov.au/contact-us
Kind regards
Leanne Hughes
Acting NSW Registrar General

You might be wondering why we are spelling out links now? It’s because latest best practice advice in the fight against phishers and scammers involves presenting full URLs—instead of hyperlinks, when directing people to information, documents or other links. It might take a little longer to read, but hopefully you can see the links we send are safe to open.
