Services and Operations
The Land Registry has been providing search services over the internet via our IRIS Online Services at
for 16 hours a day, seven days a week since February 2005, and further extended the service
hours to 20 hours daily (from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. the next day) from August 2010. The public can conduct
searches on either an ad hoc or a subscription basis. The number of subscribers increased by 58 (+5.7%) and
reached 1,084 in March 2014. Currently, searches conducted online constituted about 91% of the total
search volume. The remaining 9% were conducted over the counter. Counter search service is available at
our Customer Centre in Queensway Government Offices and the New Territories Search Offices (NTSOs) in
Tai Po, Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan.

The Land Registry publishes new editions of the Street Index and the New Territories Lot/Address Cross
Reference Table (CRT) annually to help users correlate property addresses and building names with lot
numbers in the territory. To facilitate online search service, online versions of the Street Index and the CRT
have been made available for free browsing on the Land Registry’s website or through the hyperlink on the
IRIS Online Services since 2012. Up to 31 March 2014, over 156,800 visits to the online versions of the Street
Index and the CRT released on 30 April 2013 were recorded.
