Land Titles Ordinance

Comments were received from members of the Land Titles Ordinance Steering Committee on the revised proposal of rectification and indemnity arrangements and conversion options for handling indeterminate ownership cases under the Two-Stage Conversion Mechanism.  The Land Registry is awaiting further feedback from the Law Society.  A public consultation on the proposed amendments to the Land Titles Ordinance will be launched in due course.

Integrated Registration Information System (IRIS) Enhancements

In July and August 2015, we launched the following enhancements to the IRIS Online Services:

• when a subscriber places an order for land register, unposted memorial information or land document, the system will give an alert on the "Your Order List - Select Delivery Method" screen if the same land record has been ordered on the same business day.  The subscriber may also quickly review the last five related orders with the new inquiry function; and
• the IRIS website has adopted the "ISO/IEC 10646:2003 + Amendment 1" coding standard for encoding Chinese characters.  The number of Chinese characters covered by the new coding standard is increased from about 27,000 to over 70,000.
