Apply for a land information certificate

Privacy Act requirements may apply.

Information required

When you apply for a Land Information Certificate we need to know the details of the property you are purchasing such as:

• the lot and subdivision numbers
• the street number and street name
• Volume and Folio numbers from the title
• the current owner's name and address
• your name and address.

All of these details will help us to give you the correct information on the property you are buying.

Online applications

There are two options for online applicants:

1. credit card payment (this option is for individuals who don't regularly apply)
2. registered users (this option is for solicitors and conveyancers).

Please note: Online certificate applications may take up to two working days to process.

We will issue a Land Information Certificate to the applicant via email in PDF format within 2 working days from receiving the online application.

Registered users

To use this service you would normally be spending a minimum of $1,000.00 per month.

Solicitors and conveyancers who wish to receive a monthly account must become a registered user first before applying for any LICs. This will ensure that you receive a monthly account to pay for the certificate/s you have been sent.

After registering online, we will send you a Credit Application Form to complete. Upon approval of the credit application, you will be supplied with a user identification.

Hard copy applications

If you prefer to apply in writing, you will need to download the application form.

A payment fee of $29.70 is required. If you wish to post in your application, please also download and complete the attached credit card authorisation form.

Once completed you can apply with your payment:

• in person at one of our Customer Service Centres
• post to City of Greater Geelong at PO Box 104, Geelong, VIC, 3220

We will post a Land Information Certificate to you once completed.
