What types of records does LINZ keep?
LINZ has divided its records into 12 main record types. Each record type contains information on record references that you need to provide LINZ.
We have provided information on each record type:
- a plain English explanation;
- some historical information;
- the information you need to give LINZ when you request a record;
- where to get that information.

Specific record references are not listed. You may need to do further research or employ a search agent to find a specific record or reference. Specific record references are needed when you order a copy of a LINZ record. Some records cannot be copied, due to their size and fragility. This includes all Deeds and most Crown Grants and print-based Indexes. If you wish to view these records, please visit the appropriate processing centre.
