ServiceOntario - Real Property Registration Branch
The Real Property Registration Branch (RPRB) manages and operates 54 Land Registry Offices throughout Ontario which register, store and manage documents such as deeds, mortgages and plans of survey. Registration of real property is done under either the Land Titles Act or the Registry Act. All registered and deposited records are available to the public (for a fee) to search title or obtain information about the ownership of real property.
The province of Ontario is the first jurisdiction in the world to provide electronic registration of land-related documents. This innovative system is the result of a strategic alliance between the government and a private sector company, Teranet Inc. An implementation program to provide electronic registration of land-related documents in Ontario’s Land Registry Offices is currently underway across the province. For more information please refer to Electronic Land Registration. For further information on Teranet’s Teraview gateway software please refer to www.teranet.ca
