Landonline provides access to services under three main areas: e-search, e-survey and e-dealing. In addition to this Landonline also offers Territorial Authority Online Certification - a service specific to local authorities which allows them to certify survey data online
Firms buy licences to use Landonline services. For information about the licence system, see Licences.
Licences are currently available for the following services:
e-search
This is the most commonly used service, particularly for search agents, lawyers and conveyancers. It provides access to the titles register, survey data in image format and supporting documents. It does not include access to spatial data.
e-search plus
This service provides all of the functions of e-search and, in addition, enables users to conduct and view spatial searches of land information. This enhanced service is designed for use by surveyors, search agents, real estate agents and valuers.
e-dealing
This service allows lawyers and conveyancers to register title instruments and changes to titles electronically, including transfers of ownership, and registration and discharge of mortgages. The e-dealing licence also includes all the features of e-search.
As 100% electronic lodgement is phased in, the following titles transactions can only be lodged with LINZ electronically from the dates shown below.
| Discharges | 1 May 2007 |
|---|---|
| All Transfer & Mortgage types currently e-dealing capable | 1 August 2007 |
| All remaining Title transactions | To be notified |
e-dealing plus
This licence adds the spatial search capability of e-search plus to the e-dealing licence.
e-survey
This is the electronic submission service designed for use by surveyors. The service allows surveyors to submit cadastral surveys electronically.
Included in e-survey are all the features of e-search plus.
For surveyors, the move to 100% electronic lodgement means that paper survey plans can be lodged with LINZ only up to 1 September 2007. Thereafter, all survey plans can only be lodged with LINZ electronically through Landonline e-survey.
TA e-certification
Local Authorities can certify cadastral surveys online.
This system allows flexibility between electronic and manual lodgements. Councils may certify online regardless of whether surveyors have submitted manually or online using e-survey. The manual option is possible because LINZ captures plans submitted on paper into Landonline. TA e-certification includes all the features of e-search plus.
