Uploading a Document to the Land Register Archive

Colleagues can add documents to the Land Register archive by using one of the ‘add a document’ links on the homepage. There are 4 links depending on what the document is and if there is an application number.

  • Add a supporting document using an application number
  • Add a supporting document using a title number
  • Add a live deed to the archive
  • Add an application form to the archive

Sensitive documents such as passports, birth certificates and bank statements must not be added to the archive. These documents should be examined, noted and returned to the person who submitted them.

Add a supporting document using an application number

Use this link to upload a supporting document to the archive when you have an application number. The document will be linked to the application and title.

Documents will be defaulted to a business record. This can be changed to an archive record if appropriate.

Add a supporting document using a title number

Use this link to upload a supporting document which isn’t associated to an application.

The document will be linked only to the title only. This may be appropriate for some Post Registration enquiries when the query doesn’t relate to a specific application.

Documents will be defaulted to a business record. This can be changed to an archive record if appropriate.

Do not use this link if you have an application number. Instead use the ‘Add a supporting document using an application number’ link.

Add a live deed to the archive

Use this link to upload a live deed to the archive using an application number. The deed will be linked to the application and title.

All live deeds will be defaulted to an archive record. This cannot be changed as deeds are essential to the integrity of the Land Register.

Add an application form to the archive

Use this link to upload an application form to the archive.

All applications will be defaulted to an archive record. This cannot be changed as applications are essential to the integrity of the Land Register.
