Submit a Search Request/CTC Application
Guide to submitting a Search Request / Certified True Copy (CTC) Application
Search Request
1. You can request for information in the following registers maintained by OPG:
- Register of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)
- Register of Court Orders appointing Deputies
2. Information on an LPA includes who the Donee(s) are and the types of powers they have. A Court Order search will contain information on the active Deputy(ies) (if any), and the date of the court order (if applicable).
3. For requests under
the Mental Disorders and Treatment Act Order (before 1 Mar 2010) in respect of a person alleged to lack capacity (“P”), the Office of the Public Guardian does not have the updated information for this case. You may wish to file a request
to inspect files at the Supreme Court.
4. Please note that no refunds will be given for requests that are not approved.
CTC Application
This application is for a Certified True Copy of a registered LPA.
OPG generally does not disclose CTCs to persons who are not named parties in an LPA unless there is a Court Order directing us to do so. Named parties refer to the Donor and Donee.
