Smart forms vs. scanned paper forms vs. eForms

eForms in eRegistration

All forms uploaded into eRegistration are referred to as eForms. This includes:

1. Smart Forms:

   • Interactive digital forms designed for efficient data entry and validation.
     
     

2. Scanned Paper Forms:

   • Paper forms converted to digital format through scanning.

Both types of forms are treated as electronic forms (eForms) in the system, ensuring a streamlined and consistent electronic registration process.

Smart forms in eRegistration

eRegistration supports four types of electronically fillable forms (Smart Forms):

• eTransfer
• eCaveat
• eMortgage
• eDischarge

Key features of smart forms

• eRegistration can automatically read registration details directly from the form, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

Best practices for uploading smart forms

• Always upload the original PDF of the Smart Form to ensure all embedded data is readable by the system.
• Scanned copies should only be used for signature pages and additional evidence documents.

Scanned paper forms in eRegistration

Scanned paper forms are any Land Titles forms that you manually complete (type or handwritten) and then convert into a digital image (PDF) via scanning.

Key features of scanned paper forms

• eRegistration cannot automatically read registration details from scanned paper forms.

Best practices for uploading scanned paper forms

• Verify that all necessary registration details are clearly visible on the scanned form.
• Accurately input the additional required information during the upload process.
