Exceptional Industry Experience
Since 1969, West Coast Title Search Ltd. has been providing professional registry and litigation support services to the legal community throughout British Columbia. For more than 55 years, we’ve earned our reputation by delivering dependable service, knowledgeable advice, and consistent results.
Today, with offices in Abbotsford, New Westminster, Vancouver, and Victoria, we proudly provide Process Serving, Court Registry, Corporate Registry, Land Registry, and related government registry services throughout British Columbia.
There’s Only One WCTS
From time to time, we receive calls from clients regarding work they believed they had sent to West Coast Title Search Ltd., only to discover it had been submitted to another company with a similar name.
To avoid confusion, remember this:
There is only one West Coast Title Search Ltd.
We’ve proudly served British Columbia’s legal community since 1969 under the same ownership, with the same commitment to professionalism, integrity, and exceptional client service.
Proudly Canadian. Proudly Independent.
West Coast Title Search Ltd. is a 100% Canadian-owned and operated company.
Remaining independent allows us to focus on one thing above all else: providing exceptional service to our clients. Every decision we make is guided by what’s best for the law firms, businesses, and professionals who trust us—not by shareholders or a distant corporate head office.
Whether your matter is local, elsewhere in Canada, or around the world through our trusted network of agents, we’re here to help.
Four Offices. One Team.
Our offices in Abbotsford, New Westminster, Vancouver, and Victoria allow us to provide responsive, local service throughout British Columbia.
Each office has been strategically located to support the legal community it serves while giving us convenient access to the courts, registries, and government offices our clients rely upon every day. Together, our four offices allow us to respond quickly, maintain strong working relationships throughout the province, and provide the same high standard of service regardless of where your matter originates.
Whether your file is being handled in Abbotsford, New Westminster, Vancouver, or Victoria, you’ll receive the same professional service, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence that have defined West Coast Title Search for more than 55 years.
Personal Client Service
Technology has transformed the legal industry, but it hasn’t changed our belief that exceptional service begins with real people.
When you call West Coast, you’ll speak with someone who can answer your questions and help move your matter forward. We don’t use complicated telephone menus or automated call routing.
When the phone rings, we answer it.
It’s a simple philosophy, but one our clients continue to appreciate.
Our Ironclad Service Guarantee
We stand behind every service we provide.
If you are dissatisfied with our work, we’ll make it right by correcting the issue, replacing the work, or issuing a credit, as appropriate.
Our reputation has been built on accountability, and we’re committed to earning your confidence on every file.
Send Us Work Your Way
Every firm has its own preferred way of working.
Whether you submit your instructions through our secure Client Web Portal, by email, or by messenger or courier, we’ll work with the method that’s most convenient for you.
Our goal is to make doing business with West Coast as simple and convenient as possible.
Complimentary Messenger Service
Clients located on our established Metro Vancouver messenger routes enjoy complimentary pickup and delivery service.
It’s one more way we help simplify your workflow while ensuring documents move quickly between your office and ours.
Predictable Process Serving Fees
We believe you should know what a service will cost before you authorize the work.
Our account clients benefit from straightforward, flat-rate pricing for routine process serving, including up to six service attempts throughout our standard service areas.
In most cases, our pricing includes travel with no additional mileage or fuel surcharges. The only exception is for certain service locations in the eastern Fraser Valley, where an additional travel charge may apply. Whenever this is the case, we’ll let you know in advance—so there are never any surprises.
Clear, transparent pricing has always been part of the West Coast Difference.
Professional Process Servers
Our full-time process servers work assigned geographic areas throughout the Lower Mainland.
By becoming familiar with their service areas, buildings, and local conditions, they’re able to work more efficiently and often complete service more quickly than providers who cover broad territories.
It’s another example of experience making a difference.
Court Registry Services
Our staff attend the court registries in Vancouver, New Westminster, Victoria, and Abbotsford every business day, with regular attendance at registries throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
This allows us to begin working on your files quickly and, whenever possible, complete filings the very same day they’re received.
When deadlines matter, responsiveness matters.
Land Registry Services
Land registration has been a cornerstone of West Coast Title Search since our founding.
Although much of today’s work is completed electronically, our experienced Land Registry team continues to provide knowledgeable support for registrations, searches, and matters requiring personal attendance at the Land Title and Survey Authority.
Our expertise—not simply our proximity to the registry—is what our clients value most.
Corporate Registry Services
Our Victoria office provides direct access to the provincial government registries and the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Whether incorporating companies, filing annual reports, registering business names, or completing other corporate filings, our experienced staff ensure matters are handled accurately and efficiently.
Corporate Registry work is a core part of our business, and one of the reasons legal professionals throughout British Columbia continue to rely on West Coast.
Manual Filing When It Makes Sense
Electronic filing is often the fastest option—but not always.
Our staff continually monitor registry operations and filing requirements. If we know your documents can be filed more efficiently by attending the registry in person, we’ll let you know and explain your options.
Our objective is simple: to ensure your documents are filed as quickly, accurately, and efficiently as possible.
No Surprise Invoicing
We believe our invoices should never come as a surprise.
Our fees are transparent, and we’re always happy to provide quotations for large, unusual, or specialized requests before work begins.
You’ll know what to expect.
We’re Insured
West Coast Title Search carries $5,000,000 in Errors and Omissions Insurance.
Since our founding in 1969, we have never had a claim against our policy.
We’re proud of that record because it reflects the care, professionalism, and attention to detail we bring to every matter entrusted to us.
A certificate of insurance is available upon request.
The West Coast Difference
At West Coast Title Search, we understand that our role extends beyond filing documents, conducting searches, or serving legal papers.
We are your registry agent—an extension of your practice.
For more than 55 years, legal professionals throughout British Columbia have relied on us because we combine experience, responsiveness, professional expertise, and genuine personal service.
Those values have guided us since 1969, and they continue to define the West Coast Difference today.
