Article summary

Registers of Scotland, the body responsible for keeping public registers of land and property in Scotland, has launched a consultation on proposals to make the Digital Submissions Service (DSS) permanent. The DSS was launched on 15 April 2020 to facilitate applicants uploading and submitting electronic copies of paper deeds on a temporary emergency basis for the duration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Stakeholder feedback has indicated that the DSS should be ‘retained beyond the lifetime’ of both the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 and Coronavirus (Scotland) (No 2) Act 2020. The consultation closes at 11.59 pm, Monday 1 February 2021.
