How to complete a title search in Victoria

Written by Georgie Edgerton

A Victorian title search — formally called a Register Search Statement — can be purchased directly from Landchecker. There are three ways to do this: from the Map, from the Document Searches page, or via the Standard Searches tab within Document Searches. This article covers all three.

Plan access: Title searches are available to all Landchecker users on a paid plan. Charges are applied per document at checkout.

Can I make job references mandatory for my team?

Job references can be set as optional or mandatory for your account. To configure this, go to Business Account > Preferences tab, then tick the checkbox under the Job References section. Once enabled, a job reference must be entered before any document purchase can proceed.

What happens after I purchase a title?

Your title is available to download immediately after purchase. You can access it from the Order Manager in the navigation bar. The document will also be sent to your registered email address.
