Special certifications relate to the applicable additional matters that may be specified for an instrument as set out in regulation 7(4) of the Land Transfer Regulations 2018, such as:
- Māori freehold land compliance requirements
- caveator or claimant consent requirements
- chargeholder consent requirements
- mortgagee consent requirements
- consent or notice requirements related to licences and leases granted under the Land Act 1948
- submortgagee consent requirements
- territorial authority consent requirements.
When applicable additional matters apply, the relevant certifications for special matters appear under the certifications for standard matters on the Certifications panel.
Multiple certification options
You may have multiple certifications to select from when dealing with a title that has:
- a caveat or notice of claim on the title
- a mortgage or encumbrance on the title.
You should read the options carefully and select the correct certification.
If you select a second certification the original certification automatically unchecks.
For more information read the caveats and notices of claim page or the mortgages page.
