All Certificate of Title documents in NZ are ordered from LINZ, who charge for that service. There are various companies that handle this ordering process (via LINZ) for you and are even able to provide a discount because they are ordering titles on bulk.

If you buy a Quickmap licence (Prover also offer this service) you will obtain access to Quickmap’s Title Preview system, which allows you to view a copy of the title data for free. The data is updated weekly so the free Title Preview on average is a few days old. Through Quickmap you can order a copy of the Certificate of Title if you need title data that is current, or if you are required to do so by law in your industry.
