Pursuant to Section 99(1)(b) of The Land Titles Act, 2000  the Registrar may 'lock' a title or  interest. A Registrar’s Lock or prohibition is similar to the Registrar's Caveat under the former Land Titles Act.

This type of lock is the most common lock used to indicate a Registrar’s Correction is required. 

This lock is registered at the title level and will appear on a title print.
