Copy of Title
A Copy of Title is known as a Register Search Statement
About Copies of Title / Register Search Statement
A Register Search Statement (RSS) is the digital equivalent of a traditional Copy of Title. Therefore, it can be referred to as an RSS or a Copy of Title, and it replaces the earlier paper forms of title copies.
It provides comprehensive property ownership details as recorded in the Victorian Land Registry*, and includes information such as:
- Land description, including lot and plan details.
- Names of the current property owners (shown on title as registered proprietors).
- Details of encumbrances, caveats, and notices affecting the property, including mortgages.
The public can access the information in a Registered Search Statement through LANDATA and other approved sources.
*Note the RSS reflects the status of the title at the time of purchase of the RSS.
