Order Information
- Trouble finding your property?
- If the system fails to find a match on address, try another approach using an alternative identifier.
Such as Lot on Plan number or a Standard Parcel Identifier can be obtained through the Land Channel "Interactive Map".
Select Property Reports, or Interactive Map, and enter the address into the search fields. The Property Reports should provide you a useful alternative reference.
This reference can then be entered into the appropriate field in TPI Step 1. Lot on Plan number will be matched to a title which you then will be able to order.Only need a Title Search?
If you only require a Title Search or a copy of a Plan of Subdivision or an Instrument, select Volume/Folio Number and then click the Title Certificates Only option.
Selecting this option allows you to by-pass the validations required for the more extensive certificate service.
- More than one property is listed
- If there are two or more property results for the same identifier you must select one. This will be the information used to order certificates.
If you are unsure of the details for a property returned by the search you could:
- View and confirm the property on a map (see above), check the same property is identified on the map.
- Check the information you used to specify the property. Go 'back' and change the identifier option and / or information used to specify the property.
- If you order a Registered Search Statement (Title) at the next step, a Land Index search charge (a fee) will be incurred. To avoid this extra charge, return to Step 1. "Specify Property" and enter the Volume / Folio number.Confirm property details
In order to go to the next step you must "confirm" that the details selected are to be used by a responsible authority to issue a certificate for your required property. Your confirmation is LANDATA®’s authorisation to send the selected property details to the responsible authorities.
- How do I know when to expect the extra service charge?
- A Land Index service charge will be applied if a Register Search Statement(Title) or a Copy of Title is requested and you have not provided the Title (or Folio) reference. The system will automatically indicate when the system will make this charge. The extra charge does not apply when other certificates are requested.Diagram for a Title Search
- A title search includes the current ownership information and any registered encumbrances on the property. Under the computerised VOTS service a title search also includes the appropriate diagram (Copy of Plan).Turn-around times
- Turn-around times are indicative only and are provided as a guide only.Additional information – Custodian specific
The additional information will appear if the Certificate authority requires additional information to allow them to accurately issue the certificate you have requested. Failure to provide the required information will automatically remove the selected certificate from your order. The balance of your order will proceed based on the provided data.

LANDATA uses the Westpac payment gateway and 3D secure.
What is 3D secure?
3D Secure is a protocol (set of rules) that provides extra protection for merchants and customers for online payments. It is used to authenticate the cardholder during payment processing, similar to entering a PIN for an ATM or EFTPOS transaction.
The basic concept of the protocol is to tie the financial authorisation process with an online authentication. This authentication is based on a three domain model (hence the 3-D in the name). The three domains are:
- Acquirer Domain - the merchant and the bank to which money is being paid
- Issuer Domain - the bank who issued the card being used
- Interoperability Domain - the infrastructure provided by the credit card scheme to support the 3-D secure protocol.
