Officially certified copy of the registered title plan
Tullamore Certified Map - Official Certified Title Plan
Quick Answer
A Certified Map is an officially certified copy of the registered title plan, showing the registered extent of a Tullamore property under official certification, and it is supplied together with the Certified Folio. Order it where somebody official has to rely on the plan. It certifies that the copy is true to the register at its date of issue; it does not make the mapped line conclusive.
There is a difference between seeing the registered extent of a Tullamore property and proving it. An ordinary map answers the first. The Certified Map answers the second, because the seal permits reliance by a reader who cannot verify the copy themselves.
Supply the Tullamore address or folio number. The certified title plan and the Certified Folio are issued together under seal and posted to you within 15 working days.

What Is This Document
The title plan shows the extent of registered land as the register maps it. A Certified Map is that plan reproduced and certified under seal as a true copy at a stated date, which is what allows a planning authority, a lender or a court to act on it without verifying it themselves.
The certificate speaks to one thing, and it is worth being precise about what. It states that this is a true copy of the registered map as at the date of issue – nothing more and nothing less. That is what allows a reader who did not obtain the document to act on it.
On Tullamore property the practical question is usually what the plan covers rather than where exactly the line falls. Fully registered rural land, with large peat-industry tracts historically in single ownership, so establishing which registered parcel a plan relates to – and whether the holding runs to more than one – is frequently the substantive part of the work.
A Certified Map is the document a planning authority, a solicitor, a lender or a court office will expect when a registered extent has to be proved, and for that purpose it does the job completely. What it does not do is settle an argument about precisely where a boundary lies, which is resolved through the registered instruments, the physical evidence and, where it comes to it, the courts.
One caution matters more than every other point on this page. It does not make the mapped line conclusive. Registration in Ireland operates on general boundaries: the line shows approximately where the division between two properties runs, and certifying the copy does not change that.
So a certified plan proves what the register maps, and stops there. It does not prove where a Tullamore boundary legally falls. If your question is whether the wall is yours, whether the fence line moved, or how wide a right of access actually is, the plan will not answer it – and a certified plan will not answer it any better than an ordinary one, because certification speaks to the copy rather than the content.
Those questions run on the registered instruments, physical evidence, and where necessary agreement or a court. Conclusive boundary fixing exists as a separate process, but it demands precise mapping and the participation of the parties affected, and it is uncommon. In practice, general boundaries is the rule you are working under.
Which Document Do I Need
Order the Certified Map where the registered extent has to be proved to someone official – a planning application, a transfer of part, a lender, a court office. It is supplied together with the Certified Folio as a single order, so you receive the certified register entry and the certified plan together rather than having to choose between them. Order the ordinary title map where you simply want to see the extent for your own purposes and nothing is being submitted anywhere. Order the Folio Search where the question is ownership and burdens rather than extent, delivered electronically within 24 hours. And if a Tullamore address returns no folio, the property is unregistered and no title plan exists to certify.

What Information Is Included
- The plan reference: the identifier tying this drawing to the folio it belongs to
- The parcel outline: the registered extent of the Tullamore property as the register maps it
- The certificate: the official confirmation that this is a true copy, applied under seal
- The issue date: what the copy speaks to, since dealings after it are not reflected
- Surrounding registered land: adjoining parcels shown for context and orientation
- Graphically mapped entries: rights of way and similar burdens where a route is defined
- County identification: confirmation that the folio sits in the County Offaly register
- The Certified Folio alongside it: the certified register entry is supplied with the plan as a single order, so ownership, class of title and burdens come certified too
What Is Not Included
The certified plan is the right document in a defined set of situations, and the wrong one in others. Ownership, charges and the names of registered burdens are answered by the certified folio supplied alongside it rather than by the plan itself. What neither document carries is the wording of a burden, which comes from the registered instrument and is ordered separately.
It will also not resolve a boundary dispute. It shows the registered position, which is often useful context in a dispute, but the general boundaries rule means the plan is evidence of what is mapped rather than proof of where the line falls. Where a Tullamore boundary is genuinely contested, the plan is a starting document rather than a deciding one.
And where the property has never been registered, there is no title plan at all. Establishing that is the job of a folio search against the address, which will tell you within 24 hours whether a registered title exists.
Why People Order
Certified plans for Tullamore property are ordered in a fairly narrow set of situations, and it is worth knowing which one you are in before ordering.
Fast-growing commuter towns generate constant site transfers and estate completions. The certified plan is the base document for each of them.
- A transfer of part, where the ground being sold has to be defined against the existing registered parcel.
- A sale where the purchaser’s solicitor raises a query about the extent shown on the plan.
- A lender requiring certified evidence of the property being taken as security.

Lenders and valuers: Certified evidence of the property being taken as security or valued.
Surveyors and engineers: Establishing the registered position as the starting point for a measured survey.
Land Registry Context
Tullamore is an Offaly canal town surrounded by raised bog and midland pasture, and that shapes what the registered mapping looks like. The market is built on a midlands centre with distilling, healthcare and rail-led commuter demand, and that shows in the volume of extent enquiries.
Anyone reading a Tullamore plan tends to meet the same two points – turbary rights and cutaway bog, attaching to holdings as registered burdens, and Grand Canal frontage, with towpath access and drainage rights on adjoining land.
The practical consequence for mapping is that a Tullamore plan often needs reading rather than glancing at. Fully registered rural land, with large peat-industry tracts historically in single ownership, so the first question is usually which registered parcel the plan relates to and whether the holding runs to more than one.
Common Mistakes
Ordering the map when the folio was what was asked for – read the request wording again before you order
Believing the certificate fixes the boundary – it certifies the copy, and nothing more
Using a plan obtained during an earlier transaction – dealings since will not appear on it
Assuming a shared Tullamore laneway or rear access sits inside the parcel – frequently it does not
Scaling a dimension off the drawing and relying on it – that is what a measured survey is for
Forgetting that the map does not carry planning history – that is a local authority enquiry
Ordering only one parcel where the holding covers several – check the folio first
One order, two certified documents: the Tullamore title plan and the certified register entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Certified Map for a Tullamore property?
It is an officially certified copy of the registered title plan, issued under seal, showing the extent of the registered land. Certification means a planning authority, lender or court can rely on it as a true copy of the register as at its date of issue.
Does the Certified Map prove where my boundary is?
No, and this is the most important thing to understand about it. Ireland registers general boundaries, so the mapped line shows approximately where the division runs rather than fixing its exact legal position. The certified plan proves what the register maps - not where the boundary legally falls.
How long does a Certified Map for Tullamore take?
Delivered by post within 15 working days. It is a sealed physical document, so there is no electronic version. Fast track delivery is available at an additional charge if the timeline is tight.
Can I get the Certified Map by email?
No. The certification and seal are what give the document its standing, and they only exist on the physical copy. If you need information quickly, order a Folio Search alongside it - that arrives electronically within 24 hours and covers ownership and burdens.
Do I need the folio number to order?
No. The Tullamore property address is normally enough for us to identify the registered title. If you already have the folio number for the County Offaly register, supplying it will save a step.
The estate was completed in phases. Which phase is mine on?
The plan relates to the folio you order against, so identifying the correct folio is the first step. A folio search against the address does that within 24 hours and is worth running first where phasing is unclear.
What is the difference between the Certified Map and the Certified Folio?
The folio is the register entry in words - registered owner, class of title and burdens. The map is the plan showing the extent of the ground. They answer different questions, and both are supplied together on this order, so you do not have to work out in advance which one the request was aimed at.
Do I get the folio as well as the map?
Yes. The Certified Folio is supplied with the Certified Map as a single order, so you receive the certified register entry for the Tullamore property alongside the certified plan. Both arrive under seal, by post, within 15 working days.
Will the Certified Map show a right of way?
It shows mapped burdens where they are capable of being shown graphically, so a right of way with a defined route will usually appear. What it will not show is the wording - the terms of the right come from the registered instrument, which is a separate document.
