Land Registration (Electronic Communications) Order (Northern Ireland) 2011
This Order amends the Land Registration Act (Northern Ireland) 1970 (“the Act”) to permit electronic documents created within the Land Registry’s computer system, and authenticated by means of digital signature, to be valid for the creation, transfer, variation or extinction of estates and interests in land and to introduce conditions upon which electronic applications for registration may be made. These changes are intended to enable the electronic registration in the Land Registry of Northern Ireland of transactions affecting land.
