Ordering copies of memorials

Ordering copies of memorials

Note that if you are using Landweb direct at the Public Counter within the Land Registry and you are paying by cash or cheque, you will be unable to request copies using the system.  Instead you should request copies from the cashier.

•    If you know the number of the memorial you require, use the Services menu to find Registry of Deeds services and select 'Request Copies'.  The copy requests screen will be displayed, allowing you to enter the details of the memorial you require.
OR
•    Confirm which memorial you need by using the Services menu to find Registry of Deeds services and select 'Registry of Deeds search'.  There are options to request copies on the list of search results and on the View Abstract screen.
OR
•    If you do not know the memorial number or wish to view the memorial before you request a copy, carry out a Registry of Deeds search.

Selecting the copy request options

•    If you have requested a copy of a particular memorial from your search results, then the memorial information will already be shown in the fields on the copy requests screen.  
•    If you have used the 'Request copies' option on the Registry of Deeds services menu, you will need to enter the memorial details in the boxes provided.
•    Select the type of copy you require: certified or uncertified.  Certified copy memorials are admissible as evidence in court, uncertified copies are not. 
•    If you have selected an uncertified copy memorial, you may request that the copy be delivered electronically. You will be informed via email when the copy is available and you can then download the electronic version. The email will automatically be sent to the address you have registered with Landweb direct, unless you edit the address shown in the box provided.  
•    If you request electronic delivery of your copy and this cannot be fulfilled (if, for example, the memorial is not held electronically), a message will be displayed informing you that electronic delivery is not available.  You can de-select the electronic delivery option and resubmit your request if required.  The copy will then be sent to you by post.
•    Make a note of the application number on the confirmation screen as this will be the reference quoted when your copy is dispatched to you electronically.

Delivery of your copy request

•    If you have requested electronic delivery, you will be notified via email when the copy is available for download (click here for assistance in downloading, saving and printing electronic copies).
•    If you have not requested electronic delivery, or the option was not available, a message will be displayed and the copy document will be posted to you by Land Registry.
