Document Version Reconciliation — Mortgage and lien status
Primary official evidence
Reconcile document number, date and referenced page/plan across paper and electronic copies. If two versions were valid at different times, identify which is currently effective and who issued the change; do not mix archive and operative copies. Mortgages, liens and annotations are not cosmetic notes; review a current registry extract and identify the restriction type, beneficiary, scope and status before financial commitment. Web Tapu can display mortgage, seizure, annotation and easement information and supports obtaining current official registry documents. When versions differ, compare identifiers, issue dates, scope and issuing authority and explain which version is operative instead of assuming that the newest-looking file controls.
