o New documents

Electronic Lodgement User Manual Version 13 4
2 Basic Process for Electronic Lodging Electronic Lodgement allows clients to lodge land title documents from their office via the
Internet. Documents are uploaded to the Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) as TIFF images of the existing forms. All notices pertaining to lodgements are
placed onto each client’s web page. The basic process for electronic lodging is:
Scan the documents to create a lodgement/batch
Log on to Electronic Lodgement
The lodgement/batch is sent to Optical Character Recognition (OCR) where the data is processed/read and the fees assessed
Submit the lodgement/batch
Amend any errors (as per error messages) and check to ensure all data is correct.
Once all checks are completed, the lodgement is ready to be confirmed
Dealings are lodged upon receipt of the success message. A Receipt and Lodgement Summary is sent and stored in Reports
All Reports should be actioned daily using the Menu options including Document Destruction
Confirm the lodgement/batch
Electronic Lodgement User Manual Version 13 5
3 Documents That Can Be Electronically Lodged
Forms may be lodged over Fee Simple, State Leasehold, Water Allocation and Interests in a dealing
where applicable.
Documents cannot be lodged through Electronic Lodgement where a paper title exists with the
exception of Caveats, Writs, Settlement Notices and some Form 14’s. However, titles can be
deposited at a DNRM lodgement centre with a Form 14 at no fee and they will be cancelled that day.
This then allows the corresponding documents to be electronically lodged.
Forms 18 and 20 will form part of a document and as such should be included as a part of that image.

Electronic Lodgement User Manual Version 13 21
12 Requisitioned, Rejected, Rescanned & F24
Rescanned Documents
In addition to the aforementioned New Lodgement type, there are currently four other
lodgement types specified in the Menu available to the Electronic Lodger.
Lodgement Type
Abbreviated Lodgement
Type
What does it mean?
Requisition REQ
A requisition applies to a dealing which, upon
examination, is deemed to be in non-registrable form when lodged.
A Requisition Notice is issued advising the lodger that the document requires attention.
The requisitioned document should be amended,
rescanned and re-lodged for re-examination (using the Menu option Requisition) within the specified
period, otherwise it will reject. Requisition fees apply to this lodgement type
(unless otherwise stated).
Rejected REJ
A Rejection Notice is issued to the lodger advising the document is rejected due to non-compliance
with the terms of the requisition (within the specified time period).
The rejection notice identifies the primary dealing and any associated dealings rejected.
Should these dealings be re-lodged (using the Menu option Rejected), the fees will be half of the current lodgement fee plus any outstanding
requisition and short fees.
Rescan RSC
A Rescan Notice has been issued as the image
has been identified as inadequate during the examination process, and requires individual
attention. The document to Rescan should be rescanned and
re-lodged for re-examination immediately following
the examiners instructions on the report (using the Menu option Rescan). The document must not be
altered in anyway, just scanned according to the examiners instructions.
There are no fees associated with this lodgement
type. Failure to comply with the rescan request in a
reasonable time may result in a Requisition. Fees will then apply.
F24 Rescan F24
The Form 24 image has been identified as inadequate during the data entry process and requires individual attention
The Form 24 to rescan should be amended, rescanned and re-lodged for re-evaluation
immediately (using the Menu option F24 Rescan) There are no fees associated with this lodgement
type
The screen layout and editing options that apply to these lodgement types are essentially the same. All reports are sent electronically and can be viewed, printed, downloaded and emailed.
Electronic Lodgement User Manual Version 13 22

Alterations must be made to the original document prior to rescanning.
Providing the requisition has been complied with, a new image of the previously lodged
document must be created before continuing.
Note: When answering a requisition, the whole of the previously lodged requisitioned
document along with any extra pages that may be required must be re-lodged. Unless specifically requested in the requisition, no pages are to be removed; any unnecessary pages should be ruled through and marked ‘cancelled’.
