Answers to your Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to attach a copy of the paper dealing form when lodging a structured electronic dealing?
No. When preparing a structured electronic dealing (click
here to view the list of structured electronic dealings), any executed paper dealing form is not required to be attached as supporting evidence for lodgment with NSW LRS. Subscribers should continue to retain (not lodge with NSW LRS) necessary documentation for compliance purposes. NSW LRS may raise a requisition if a discrepancy exists between the information stated on the attached paper dealing form and the electronic dealing.
When preparing a
Dealing with Exception, the relevant paper dealing form must be attached and lodged with NSW LRS.
Q: When do I provide a Lodgment Rules Exception Form with a dealing?
A correctly completed Lodgment Rules Exception Form must be lodged with all documents lodged as a Dealing with Exception and Miscellaneous Document via an ELNO. Only one Lodgment Rules Exception Form is required for each ELNO workspace. If a Lodgment Rules Exception Form is not provided or an incorrect exception item is selected, a requisition will be raised by NSW LRS. A copy of the form is available here. Information on Dealing with Exception and Miscellaneous Dealing can be found via How to Lodge with NSW LRS: Out of Scope Transactions.

Q: Will I receive a requisition if I don’t provide a Lodgment Rules Exception form?
Yes. All documents lodged as a Miscellaneous Dealing or Dealing with Exception must be accompanied by a correctly completed Lodgment Rules Exception Form. If a Lodgment Rules Exception Form is not provided or if the correct exception item is not selected, a requisition will be raised by NSW LRS.

Q: Does the title reference on the Dealing with Exception (DwE) coversheet need to match the paper dealing form?
Yes. All title references stated on the attached paper dealing form must be entered into the ELNO workspace which will be reflected on the coversheet.
If a discrepancy exists between the title references stated on the coversheet and the title references stated on the paper dealing form attached, a requisition will be raised by NSW LRS. The Subscriber will be required to amend the attached paper dealing form to rectify the discrepancy or withdraw the dealing and lodge as a new document using the correct title reference(s) in the ELNO workspace.
Where the dealing affects a servient and dominant tenement, all relevant titles must be entered in the workspace. Where the dealing affects a Lease Folio (LF) title, only enter the LF title in the workspace. Reference should be made to all head titles and LF titles on the attached paper dealing form.
