Three levels of Certificate of Title (CT) usage in Australia With the recent removal of Certificates of Title (CT) in New South Wales, and a consultation period taking place in Victoria, it is a timely reminder to take note of where each State and Territory currently stands with CTs. Across Australia, the States and Territories have adopted three approaches, effectively creating three different levels of CT usage.   Level 1: Paper CT Issued: Tasmania Tasmania currently does not have electronic conveyancing and as such, it is the only state which still completely uses paper titles. They are required at settlement and issued upon registration. The primary benefit of this level of CT usage is to assist in verifying the identity of the registered proprietor, which infers a right to deal by having ownership of the Title.  Level 2: CT Used: Victoria, Northern Territory and Western Australia Victoria currently has both paper and electronic CTs. Most transactions are required to settle through an ELNO, and therefore, remaining paper CTs need to be converted to an electronic CT and the paper CT is then destroyed. Once the electronic CT is on Title, the register will indicate who is control of the CT. Victoria
