Real estate, business and conveyancing agents
Special endorsements for conveyancing agents
If you are a licensed conveyancing agent in the Northern Territory, you can apply to have one or more special endorsements added to your licence.
These endorsements allow you to provide additional services beyond standard conveyancing transactions.
Activities under special endorsements
Special endorsements authorise a conveyancing agent to also draw, prepare and arrange the execution of:
- leases
- mortgages
- encumbrances
- restrictive covenants
- contracts for the sale of businesses.
You will need a separate endorsement for each activity.
How to get special endorsements
There are two ways to get special endorsements, either through:
- completing the Board-approved training, or
- approved relevant experience.
Approved training course
You must have completed specific elective units from the the BSB60220 Advanced Diploma of Conveyancing. Each endorsement has its own training requirements.
These elective units must have been completed through a registered training organisation (RTO).
See a list of the RTOs for this course on the Australian Government Training website.
If you are applying for multiple endorsements, you must have completed all relevant electives associated with each endorsement.
Units required for each endorsement
You can find more information about units under BSB60220 on the Australian Government’s training website.

|---|---|
| (a) Leases - drawing, preparing and arranging the execution of leases; | |
(b) Mortgages - drawing, preparing and arranging the execution of mortgages; | |

Experience-based assessment
If you have not completed the required training, you can still apply to have your experience assessed. The Board may approve a special endorsement if you can show that:
- you have provided the relevant service or services under the supervision of a licensed conveyancer or legal practitioner for at least 12 months
- the experience occurred within the last 3 years
- the supervising conveyancer or legal practitioner confirms the following in a statutory declaration:
- the duration and nature of the supervised work
- that the applicant has demonstrated the ability to competently undertake the service; and
- that the applicant has, in the opinion of the supervising agent, the skills and experience necessary to perform the relevant service independently.
The Board will assess your application based on the information you provide.
You may be contacted if further information is required.
