Electronic Lodgement
Most land transactions in Victoria must be lodged and managed online, with limited exceptions.
Click here for additional support and guidance when lodging Section 104 dealings.
To lodge electronically, you must first become an ELN Subscriber. There are two platforms for doing this: PEXA and Sympli. Applicants must satisfy the eligibility requirements of the Participation Rules and then contact an Electronic Lodgement Network Operator (ELNO). The ELNO will manage this process with you.
Once approved to use an ELN, a Subscriber can prepare a transaction for lodgement to the Land Registry. The ELNO will guide the Subscriber in making the transaction acceptable to the Registry. The legislative requirements for e-lodgements are the same as for paper transactions.
Subscribers must ensure their lodgement case contains all the required information and documentation and certify the data’s accuracy. The transaction must be signed digitally by a Subscriber entitled to sign e-lodgements.
If you experience any issues when using the ELN platform, please contact their customer support.
