Removal of Duplicate Titles

01 Jun 2023

Duplicate Titles will no longer be used and will be removed from the land conveyancing process in Western Australia from 7 August 2023.

From 7 August 2023, anyone who holds a Duplicate Title will not need to take any action. 

Duplicate Titles that existed before 7 August 2023 are rendered invalid and:

• do not need to be returned to Landgate; or

• do not need to be destroyed.

Please note that current registration requirements continue to apply for all documents lodged until the change takes effect.
