This document is often required for legal matters, bank financing, property sales or transfer and due diligence before purchasing land.

- Certified as an accurate replica of the original by the Land Registrar
- Includes the official signature and stamp from the state land office
- Serves as a legal reference copy of the title.
However, it is not a replacement for the original Title Deed if the original is required for presentation.
