If you make one of the following types of errors, you can correct them using one of five kinds of affidavits:

1. The mortgage amount on the application differs from the amount on the attached mortgage.
2. The name on the application differs from the attached mortgage (e.g. the mortgage application states one lender when it should state another).
3. The application does not show an interest that you intended to have registered against a title, parcel or other interest (e.g. you wanted to register against six Title Numbers but only registered against five Titles Numbers by mistake).
4. The application contains meaningless information that should not appear for that type of transaction (e.g. an Interest Value is indicated for an easement).
5. The interest holder or title owner has the same name as the intended interest holder or title owner but the wrong Client Number was used.

In each of these examples, the correct mortgage amount, the correct name of the interest holder and the correct number of titles, parcels, or interests to which an interest should have been registered can all be confirmed by way of the attachment.

If you used the description on the interest registration form on your application instead of an attachment, please append the relevant pages of the attachment to the affidavit.

If an interest has been registered in the wrong interest holder name or under the wrong Client Number, you can fix the error by submitting an interest assignment packet.  If an interest has been registered in error because of an interest detail, you can fix the error by submitting an interest amendment packet.  No authorization form is required in either of these circumstances.  The authorization is the affidavit executed by either the lawyer who submitted the packet, or if the packet was submitted by a non-lawyer, someone in a position of authority with the submitting party (like an officer or a director of a corporation).  Sample affidavits are available in the Forms area.

There is no standard form to the affidavit for you to submit.  However, the affidavit must:

• Indicate that a clerical error was made;
• Describe the nature of the error;
• State what the correct information should be in the application; and
• Append some documentation to confirm the information contained in the affidavit.

You only need to submit the portion(s) of the documentation that is relevant to the error.

Note: If you do not have any supporting documentation available, please contact us to determine whether or not we can permit you to use an affidavit.

We will not mitigate fees in these circumstances.  If there is something unusual that you feel would warrant fee mitigation, you may send a request to the Registrar’s attention explaining why mitigation should be considered.

If you have a circumstance that does not fall within one of the examples above, please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-866-ASK-ISC1.  Your request will be considered on a discretionary basis.
