You need to:

• use our Public Title Inaccuracy Enquiry service for new enquiries

• contact post-reg@ros.gov.uk for existing enquiries

Before you go any further, you should check that your Land Register application has:

• been submitted

• perhaps already completed or been rejected.

It can be helpful to contact your solicitor first before submitting an expedite request.

If you need to prove ownership you can check and order deeds on ScotLIS.

Before you submit a request, it can streamline the process if you can collect the following information from your solicitor:

• application number

• title number

The majority of applications submitted to Registers of Scotland are completed within 35 days.

Find out more about our casework turnaround times.

You should not submit an expedite request within this 35-day timeframe unless they are urgently required:

• within this period

• shortly after

If your application reference contains TE, i.e. 25TE*******, note that this:

• is an existing enquiry related to a claimed Title Inaccuracy

• should not be submitted via an expedite request form

Instead, you should:

• use our Public Title Inaccuracy Enquiry service for new enquiries  

• contact post-reg@ros.gov.uk for existing enquiries

Depending on the reason for an expedite, you may need to supply evidence that supports your required date.

The required date allows us to prioritise requests by urgency.

This can be the required date:

• related to an offer of a loan that is due to expire

• when a transaction is due to settle

Depending on which criteria you meet, you may need to supply evidence with your request. 

You can find out more about our expedite criteria.

Describe the impact the delay will have in simple terms (500 words max).

 For example:

• you’re at risk of bankruptcy, or your mortgage offer will fall through by the 12^th of the month

• your deal is at risk of failure if the title is not registered by the 12^th of the month 

Because of the assessment criteria you selected, you need to supply evidence.

This can be:

• a written refusal to transact from the other party

• a mortgage offer stating the title must be registered for lending to proceed

• evidence of potential commercial impact, e.g. liquidation or economic consequences 

This list is not exhaustive.

You must supply evidence supporting your required date, such as documentation:

• related to an offer of a loan that is due to expire

• that shows when a transaction is due to settle

Max file size 20MB, accepted file types: doc, docx, msg, jpg, pdf.

You can only supply a maximum of 3 evidence files.
