Verification of Identity Requirements for Property Transfers in Queensland - 15 September 2023

 

If you are signing a Queensland Land Registry document as an individual, your lawyer will ask you to produce evidence that verifies your identity before or at the time the document is executed. Your original current driver's licence PLUS a current passport are the primary identification documents and should meet the requirement provided there have been no name or other changes since the documents were issued.

If those documents are not available a combination of other forms of identification can be produced (these are listed in the new Part 61 of the Land Titles Practice Manual paragraph [61-2700]).

In some instances if you live outside the Cleveland, Birkdale, Russell Island, Macleay Island, Raby Bay, Redland Bay, Ormiston, Capalaba, Alexandra Hills, Coochiemudlo Island, Mount Cotton, Sheldon, Victoria Point, Wellington Point, Thornlands, Thornside and Stradbroke Island area, or if you are unable to meet face-to-face with us, a VOI can be completed by alternative means.

Please contact our office today on (07) 3180 3580 should you wish to obtain more information on the VOI process.
