Procedures in other registries may vary. A Deputy Registrar must be consulted to authorise the opening. An opening fee is incurred when authorisation is given and must be paid at the time of the opening. The Deputy Registrar's phone number is 3247 4304. The registry operates on a one number system.
Files are bar and colour coded to assist in tracking and storage.
Filing and Searching Clients take a ticket from the dispensing machine on the main registry counter and wait for that number to be called. When the number is called, it will also be shown on the visual display unit above the main counter. If you have documents to file, simply hand these to the Client Relations Officer at the counter. If fees are payable these will be assessed and the documents returned to you. You must then lodge these with the Cashier and pay the appropriate fee.
