Real Property Act 1900

The Registrar-General may delegate any of the powers and functions of the Registrar-General under this or any other Act, other than this power of delegation, to a Deputy Registrar-General or member of staff of the Department.

The Registrar-General is to have a seal of office that bears an impression of the Arms of the State of New South Wales and has inscribed in the margin the words “Registrar-General, New South Wales”.

An instrument or document issued by the Registrar-General or a Deputy Registrar-General, acting or purporting to act under the authority of any Act, is not invalid only because of—

any irregularity in the manner or time of affixing, impressing or printing the seal of the Registrar-General to or on the instrument or document, or

a failure to affix, impress or print the seal of the Registrar-General to or on the instrument or document.

All courts and persons acting judicially—

are required to take judicial notice of the seal of the Registrar-General, and

must, until the contrary is proved, presume that the seal was properly affixed.

The seal of the Registrar-General may be affixed by electronic or mechanical means.
