eCT Control Report
Easy and cost effective access to crucial information on eCT Control
About eCT
An eCT is an electronic Certificate of Title (CT) for a folio (title) of the Register of land (Register). It is a control mechanism to ensure the effective processing of electronic instruments. If there is an eCT, it indicates that no valid paper Certificate of Title (pCT) exists for that title.
What is eCT Control?
eCT Control is a security and control mechanism that ensures land titles are managed safely during electronic transactions related to land.
The eCT Controller is the entity/organisation that holds control of the electronic Certificate of Title (eCT) for the land title, as shown on a Register Search Statement (also known as Title Search). These entities can include financial institutions (if there is a mortgage) or legal practitioners/ conveyancers (if they completed a conveyancing transaction and there is no mortgage.)

What is an eCT Control Report?
An eCT Control Report lists all the eCTs under the control of a specific entity.
The eCT Control Report provides an excel file which lists the Volume/Folio numbers linked to the customer code of applicable titles. It does not include registered proprietor names or other information.
The eCT Control Report provides crucial information for property transaction processes, audit purposes, and regulatory compliance.
