(e) Development Projects and New Services

(i) E-Memorial Form

The e-Memorial Form is an electronic form provided by the Land Registry for free download from its homepage. Our customers can use this automated alternative instead of the conventional pre-printed form in preparing memorials for registration. The e-Memorial Form accounted for over 47% of the lodgements received by the Land Registry in 2010/11.

We are continuing with further enhancements to the e-Memorial Form. Development work of new functions such as data import facility and auto-filling up of address by using Property Reference Number is in good progress. Users have been invited to preview the prototypes to ensure accuracy and user-friendliness. The plan is to release the enhancements for trial use in the third quarter of 2011.

(ii) Inter-departmental Projects

The Land Registry has been assisting the Rating and Valuation Department in implementing the Property Information Online service in terms of supplying and aligning of address information. The initiative provides the public with an efficient means to obtain comprehensive and up-to-date property information.
