Preparing for the Land Owner Transparency Registry (LOTR)  

1. The designate can prepare electronic copies of the transparency declaration and transparency report and email them to the certifier of the reporting body.
2. The certifier can print and ‘wet ink’ sign those forms, then scan and email the certified forms back to the designate.
3. Once the designate has an execution copy or true copy of the transparency records in their possession, only then can the designate apply an electronic signature to the online form(s) and submit the application to the Registrar at the Land Title Office.

• Additional sample form templates are available on landtransparency.ca, including Notice to the Administrator (section 17.1), Application to Omit if Health or Safety at Risk (section 40), and Application to Correct or Change Information (section 42). 
• The LOTR System webinar video provides an overview of how to use the registry. It is available on landtransparency.ca for on-demand viewing.
