Tracking your lodgement
Please note that the turnaround times are estimates and can vary. For updates specific to your case or document, we recommend utilising our free tracking services to monitor progress.
You can perform a Dealing Status Search through Land Enquiry Services or, alternatively, you may wish to subscribe to NotifyMe to receive automated email notifications as the dealing progresses.
Your part to achieving a quicker turnaround time
To achieve a quicker turnaround time for your documents, ensure your document is prepared correctly to the standards outlined in A guide to basic requirements for the preparation of paper documents and DOC-01 Document Preparation (PDF & eForms) to avoid a requisition notice being issued, which may extend the time required for registration beyond the average turnaround time listed below.
If you have a document that is time sensitive, it may be possible to have it completed sooner than the average turnaround time through our expedite process.
