Preparing for e-dealing - step by step guide

Process The firm needs to: If using a search agent
Sign-up to Landonline
Fill out forms in the Sign-up section, complete the generated paperwork, and fax back. This includes agreements for each conveyancing firm. You need to list the Search Agent user as an authorised user on your e-dealing licence when you sign up your firm.
Purchase an e-dealing licence
Consider the number of licences and digital certificates the firm needs to purchase. You need to list the Search Agent user as an authorised user on your e-dealing licence when you sign up your firm.
Consider internal process changes such as audit compliance requirements
Consider how your firm will retain:
  • client authorities,
  • identification, and
  • any supporting documentation to meet Registrar-General of Land compliance requirements.
You need to link the users processing your work in the Search Agent firm to your licence and they must hold a digital certificate and complete the Enablement process.
Complete the Enablement process (Sign-up, Registration Authority, Warrant of Fitness).
Download Landonline software. Once codes have been issued, download digital certificates to individual users' computers and check that each user can login. Change password for every user. You need to link the users processing your work in the Search Agent firm to your licence and they must hold a digital certificate and complete the Enablement process.
Train users
Consider who you want to be trained and plan for any future training needs (ie, internal training of new users). LINZ offers a range of support resources to assist with training.

The e-dealing Practise Tool gives new users the opportunity to practise in a safe environment and is the best place to begin familiarising users with the Landonline system.

Law firms need to certify and sign each instrument in the dealing as correct when they have seen the client and completed the Authority and Instruction form. Search Agents can complete the administration duties of the process.
