Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mortgage can be canceled without registration of a discharge if the full mortgage debt has been fully paid off or if the mortgage has expired. However, if the mortgage debt has not been fully paid off, a discharge may still need to be registered to ensure that the mortgage is officially canceled and the property can be transferred or sold without any issues.
