It is not possible to submit a duplicate title with a registration series filed through the eRegistration portal. Where a duplicate title is outstanding and the registered owner is in possession of the title, in lieu of the duplicate title, the district registrar will accept affidavit evidence that the duplicate title has been destroyed.
The affidavit must:
1. Confirm that the affiant had physical possession of the duplicate title;
2. That the affiant destroyed the duplicate title;
3. Specify the manner in which the title was destroyed; and
4. Have a copy of the duplicate title affixed and marked as an exhibit.
The duplicate title can be destroyed by the lawyer, the secretary or paralegal, or one of the registered owners. Whoever it is that destroys the title must swear the affidavit.
