Registration FAQs

What do I need to know about registering?

  1. Australian lawyers and conveyancers can join PEXA by registering online. At any stage, you can save your progress and exit the application, allowing you to resume at a later date. If you have any questions, the PEXA Registration team is on hand to guide you through the registration process. 

  2. Anyone can complete the online registration on behalf of your organisation. However, in the final step of registration, contracts will need to be executed by an authorised signatory (that is, someone who is legally entitled to sign on behalf of your organisation).

    Early in the registration process you’ll be asked to nominate a Subscriber Manager. This person will be responsible for administering the account and reviewing important notifications. They will also receive the first Digital Certificate. It’s recommended that you nominate a lawyer or licensed conveyancer who is authorised to sign Land Registry documents. 

    • Organisational details: ABN and ACN (if applicable)
    • Professional details: Relevant certificates or licence
    • Financial details: Direct debit account details, trust account and duty disbursement account details (if applicable)
    • Names of persons to receive Digital Certificate(s)
    • Verification of Identity (VOI)
       

    Digital Certificates and VOI are industry safeguards that conform with the ARNECC regulatory framework.

    This one-page checklist outlines the key information that you should have ready to assist you with your registration. Looking for more information? You can find more details about the registration process on our e-Conveyancing Community.

  4. Online registration can be quick and easy, provided you have the required documents and information at hand.

    Once you have submitted your completed registration to PEXA (including VOI in approved form), your registration will be reviewed within three business days and finalised if all is in order. If required, your registration can be expedited. To request an expedited registration please contact PEXA.

    Your Digital Certificate will be sent through the mail, however if you have an imminent settlement we can faciliate delivery of your Digital Certificate via Express Post. You can start setting up your profile while you wait for it to arrive.

    We’re here to help you complete the online registration and answer any questions you may have along the way.

  5. Once you’ve registered, we will email you a welcome pack. This will include step-by-step instructions on how to set up your account so you're ready to start transacting as soon as possible.

  6. Those who sign the PEXA Participation Agreement on behalf of your organisation will be required to complete a VOI check. There are a number of ways in which this can be completed and PEXA will provide support to do this.

  7. Digital Certificates encrypt data, ensuring secure electronic signing of documents and the Financial Settlement Schedule in PEXA. Each Subscriber is required to obtain at least one Digital Certificate. The number of Digital Certificates needed will depend on how many people will be signing documents on behalf of your organisation.

    Your first Digital Certificate is free and will be issued to your nominated Subscriber Manager. Additional Digital Certificates can be ordered at any stage for $154.77 inc. GST each. Each one is stored on an encrypted USB Token.
