The registrar of deeds does not issue title deeds, but registers deeds of transfer conveying ownership from one person to another.
ROLE THAT CAN BE PLAYED BY THE REGISTRAR OF DEEDS Regulation 45(3) of DRA provides for registration of deeds on the sixth working day after lodgement and also affords the registrar of deeds the discretion to permit registration before the sixth working day after lodgement. The registrar of deeds would exercise this discretion upon request by the conveyancer who had lodged the deeds.
