There is a risk that a copy of the title deed will be given to someone else
Risk of information leakage: The real estate certificate contains important information about the house, such as the address, area, and property owner. If this information is obtained by criminals, it may be used for fraud, theft and other illegal and criminal activities.

For example, someone may use a forged copy of the real estate certificate to enter the ** house to buy or mortgage, bringing economic losses to the original property owner.
Risk of legal liability: If the provision of a copy of the real estate certificate causes losses to others, the provider may need to bear the corresponding legal liability.

Indication of purpose: When providing a copy, the purpose and expiration date may be indicated on the copy to prevent misuse.
Strengthen safekeeping: Keep the original real estate certificate and copies properly to avoid loss or theft.
