What are the benefits of E-submission?
E-submission allows you to:
- submit to any county from any county;
- eliminate gaps in searches;
- make registrations faster, safer and easier;
- reduce form errors through error and warning checking;
- pre-populate forms with existing data;
- close files much more quickly, including registration confirmation;
- know immediately about rejected documents; and
- view documents online after the first step of the document process.
How do I become an E-submitter?
Many lawyers are set up for E-submission. If you are not, scroll down to "How do I become an E-submitter?". The process to sign up online is simple and quick. Please allow for up to two weeks while your information is entered into the system.
How do I find out what equipment and technical specs are required for scanning and E-submission?
Computer and scanning requirements can be found in the Land Registry Client Resource Manual. For scanning hardware and file format requirements please see the 'E-Submission Scanning Requirements' page in the E-Submission section of the manual. For computer configuration and browser requirements please see the ‘Computer Requirements' page in the Property Online Section of the manual.
How do I find out about setting up the separate Trust Account for E-submission?
To find out the rules and procedures for setting up the trust account, contact the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society.
Who can E-submit?
Lawyers who have completed the required NSBS training course can become authorized lawyers and E-submit. All authorized lawyers must E-submit any transaction they are doing on behalf of a client and which is supported by the system; this includes all land titles recordings, removals of recordings and traditional Registry of Deeds documents.
What documents are exempt from mandatory E-submission?
You will be required to submit electronically whenever possible. This includes, among others,
- Land Titles ownership transfers and related interests (Form E-24);
- Mortgages and most other recorded interests (Form E-26);
- Releases and most other documents that remove recorded interests (Form E-27);
- Traditional registry documents on Form E-44; and
- Judgment documents with Forms E-46 and E-47.
I don’t have high speed internet. Do I still have to submit electronically?
If a document can be E-submitted, but you do not have access to high speed internet, you can submit a written request to the Registrar General to continue submitting all of your documents in paper.
How do I change the bank account that E-submission fees are debited from?
To change the banking information we have on file for your firm, please complete and submit an E-submission Pre-Authorized Debit agreement. Agreements can be found on our website under the Subscribe to POL page. Please note: a void cheque is required to complete the agreement. If you do not have cheques for your trust account, a letter from your bank on bank letterhead, confirming the account numbers, is an acceptable alternative. Changes to banking information are processed within 10 business days.
When will the E-submission fees be debited from the trust account?
You will receive an E-submission Pre-Authorized Payment Notice for all documents that have been registered/recorded that day. The associated fees will be debited from your account that night. Depending on your bank’s processing time, you may not see the debit from your bank account until the following day.
What happens if the funds aren’t transferred to the trust account in time for payment of the E-submission fees?
If your account has insufficient funds (NSF) for the payment, a notice will be sent to the financial contact for your firm detailing the NSF. Once the e-mail is received, we ask for a reply from the financial contact giving permission for us to try the debit again. Once we receive permission, we will debit the funds from your account that evening. If you know in advance that there will be an issue with an E-submission payment, please contact us by e-mail so we can work with you to resolve the issue.
The Deed Transfer Tax (DTT) is incorrect. What do I do?
The DTT is generated by what the submitting lawyer enters on the form. If the amount is incorrect and you are owed a refund or the municipality is owed more money, you will need to contact the municipality directly to make payment arrangements. SNSMR acts as a collection point for the municipalities and cannot issue refunds on their behalf.
A lawyer has moved to a new firm. Which bank account will the E-submission payment be debited from?
We can verify which accounts the E-submission fees will be debited from. Please contact us by e-mail and provide the following:
- The submitting lawyer’s name
