What Is a Queensland Title Search?
We offer online land title search services for properties in Queensland, along with every other Australian state and territory. With as little as a property's address or title reference number, you can access all of the essential ownership information for your Queensland property.
In this guide we explain the basics of running a property title search in Queensland with Title Check, so you know exactly what you are ordering and what your title search will show.
Search By Address
Enter the address of the property to order a Queensland land title search. The results page will also show all the available plans associated with the property, so you can choose the documents you need.
Search By Title Reference Number
Select the state you want to search. Then click the “Search By” button on the form and change the search to “Title Reference.” Now, enter the provided title reference number and confirm your order.
How Queensland Properties Are Identified
Queensland land titles are recorded on the Queensland land register, managed by Titles Queensland through the Queensland Titles Registry (historically known as the Land Titles Office). As an authorised broker, Title Check retrieves the same official Titles Queensland records for you online, without you needing to deal with the registry directly.
Queensland identifies each parcel of land by its lot on plan description rather than by street address alone. This combines the lot number with the plan it sits on, for example Lot 5 on RP123456 or Lot 12 on SP123456. Common plan types include Registered Plans (RP), Survey Plans (SP), Building Units Plans (BUP) and Group Titles Plans (GTP).
When you order a Queensland land title search with Title Check, you can search by:
- The property address
- The title reference number
- The lot on plan
- The unit number, for a property on a building units or group titles plan
If you have the title reference or lot on plan, you can run a precise search straight away. If not, a QLD land title search by address will return the details you need.

Every Queensland title search returns the current ownership and registered interests recorded against the land, so you get accurate, up to date information you can rely on when buying, selling or researching a property.
