The information provided in this guide is not intended to amount to legal advice. Professional assistance may be required to determine the most appropriate action to protect your legal rights. Please read our Terms of Use on the Land Titles Registration policy and procedure guides web page.

1. Introduction 

The Requisition Portal is a secure portal whereby document lodging parties and preparing parties can upload evidence in response to requisitions issued by the Registrar of Titles to correct imperfect documents which have been lodged for registration.  

The evidence uploaded into the Requisition Portal by users is uploaded into the lodged document case and reviewed by a Registration Officer to check that registration requirements have been met prior to registration or internal referral.  

Payment of requisition fees or additional document fees can be made in the Requisition Portal. 

2. Access to the Requisition Portal 

If a document/case requires correction or additional evidence, the document lodging party will be issued with a requisition notice under s192 of the Transfer of Land Act 1893 (TLA). The email delivering the requisition notice and/or the requisition notice contains a web address to access the Requisition Portal. Together with a MyLandgate login, access to the specific requisitioned case will be granted.

8. Frequently Asked Questions

How do I forward the requisition to another party? The party who lodged the documents for registration is known as the lodging party. If the lodged document/s do not meet registration requirements, the lodging party will be issued with a requisition notice and provided with 21 days to rectify the requisition. A lodging party can forward the requisition notice by email to an authorised preparing party to attend to some or all of the requisition items, as appropriate. A preparing party will need to create a MyLandgate login if they do not already have one to be granted access to the specified requisition space in the Requisition Portal. 

How do I pay fees notified on the Requisition Notice on my Landgate Account? – When you first log in to MyLandgate, if you have one or more Landgate financial accounts, you will select one to apply to fees or products paid for during your login session. To charge the requisition fees to your account, select the option to “Pay on-account”. A payment window will pop up to state the Requisition fee, the Account number you are logged in on and a field for you to enter a reference.1

Please note, requisition fees can be paid on account however additional document fees for payment of insufficient registration fees cannot be paid on account. You may also present alternative payment at a Landgate office.

How do I pay requisition fees using credit card? In the Requisition Portal, select the option to “Pay online”. You will navigate to a payment gateway where you will provide your card details to pay the amount specified by you. The card details are not provided to or retained by Landgate.

How do I pay requisition fees by cheque or EFTPOS? Lodging and Preparing parties can still pay for requisition fees at Landgate. Please note that payments made at a Landgate office will not show on the activity log in the Requisition Portal.

How do I know if the items I uploaded were successful? The items uploaded successfully will appear in the activity log. A user will only be able to see the items they have uploaded by clicking on “view”. The user will not be able to view items uploaded by other parties the requisition link has been shared with however any user with access to specific requisition will be able to see all activity logs describing document uploads and payment of fees. Please note that if any evidence is provided at a Landgate office, this activity will not be shown in the Requisition Portal.  

If I pay a fee or provide evidence for a requisition in person at a Landgate office, will this show in the activity log in the Requisition Portal? Payment of a requisition fee at a Landgate office will show on the activity log, however evidence received at the counter will not show as an activity log. Any user with access to the specific requisition will be able to see all activity logs.  

I believe I have resolved my requisition however it is still showing in the active Requisition Summary screen. Why is it still there? Some complex land transaction documents are required to be referred for additional advice or instruction prior to registration. The requisition will only clear from the summary page when the case documents have been registered, withdrawn or rejected.1

Why are there two requisitions with the same number in the Requisition Portal Summary Screen? Occasionally Landgate will issue a second requisition for the same document/case to resolve errors or omissions which were not initially identified or to clarify information or evidence which was provided to resolve the first requisition. Each requisition will have a different notice and therefore will have a different URL and different token to access in the Requisition Portal resulting in the display of the case number for each requisition. Both requisitions will only clear from the summary page when the case has been completed, withdrawn or rejected.1

How do I tell if a preparing party has paid the requisition fee? If someone has paid any fees at a Landgate counter or by using one of the payment options in the Requisition Portal, there will be an activity log which is visible to all parties the requisition link has been shared with.1

I uploaded the incorrect evidence in the Requisition Portal? How can I remove it? You will not be able to remove evidence which has been successfully uploaded in the Requisition Portal. Please contact the Registration Officer whose contact details are shown on the requisition notice. The Registration Officer will take appropriate action to disassociate the incorrect evidence in the case documents held at Landgate.

If I am logged in to MyLandgate to procure other services, will I need to log in separately to the Requisition Portal? If you are already logged in to MyLandgate, when you click on the requisition link, you will navigate directly to the specified requisition in the Requisition Portal.

I was granted an extension to respond to requisitions however the Expiry date in Requisition Portal states the original expiry date. Occasionally an extension to satisfy requisitions can be granted to a lodging party. If an extension has been granted by the Registration Officer, the expiry date in the Requisition Portal will not be updated to reflect the extension. You should keep a record of the agreed extended date to satisfy the requisitions.
