Order a Certificate of Title

Learn about Certificates of Title and how you can order a copy for a property in Western Australia. This copy is called a Record of Certificate of Title. 

What is a Certificate of Title?

A Certificate of Title is a legal document that records and proves ownership of a piece of land or a property. A copy of the Certificate of Title is called a Record of Certificate of Title.

At Landgate, we maintain the official register of land ownership and survey information for the WA State Government. All land information in this public register, including certificates of title, is available to everyone.

You do not need to own a property to order a copy of its Certificate of Title, which is available in digital format through our Land Enquiry Services (LES) site.

Why order a copy of a Certificate of Title?

A Certificate of Title provides proof of ownership along with a list of all the registered interests that affect the land. If you’re planning to sell, purchase, build or renovate a property, then you may need a copy of a Certificate of Title.

By having a copy of the title, you’ll be able to:

  • Verify the registered owner of the property.
  • Confirm that a property you’re looking to buy is the same one indicated in the sales contract.
  • Find any restrictions or covenants connected to the property

What information does it contain?

A Certificate of Title contains the following information about a property:

  • current ownership details
  • volume and folio number
  • survey plan number and type
  • document numbers for encumbrances and notifications
  • whether there is a caveat against the title
  • title sketch (where available).
