IRN speeds up land registry certificate issuance
IRN has launched a new digital service that allows the immediate issuance of online land registry certificates. The new platform simplifies access to the land registry certificate, an essential document for buying, selling or financing a property. With this system, the request can be completed entirely online, eliminating manual steps and reducing waiting times. The automatic issuance covers urban, rural and mixed properties. Users can search for properties using the land registry description number or tax article number, completing the process within minutes after payment validation.
According to IRN, the automation aims to make registration services faster, more efficient and more accessible, improving the experience for citizens and reducing bureaucracy in access to land registry certificates.
Land registry certificate is essential when buying a home
The land registry certificate gathers updated legal information about a property, including identification of the owner, mortgages, seizures or other associated charges. The document is mandatory in operations such as buying and selling homes, mortgage housing credit contracts and other acts related to properties.
IRN’s new service allows multiple properties to be added in the same request and payments to be made by ATM reference or credit card. After confirmation, the access code to the land registry certificate becomes available almost immediately in the user’s reserved area. The online request can be made through authentication with the Citizen Card, Digital Mobile Key or professional certificates for lawyers, notaries and solicitors. This functionality automatically fills in the applicant’s identification data, further speeding up the process.
Reserved area simplifies request management
IRN’s new digital platform includes a reserved area where users can track requests, check certificate statuses and access consultation codes during the document’s validity period, which is six months.
Through the access code, it is possible to consult updated information about the property, including active registrations and pending requests. The system also allows land registry certificates to be renewed during the final month of validity, avoiding the need for entirely new requests.
With this service, IRN strengthens the digitalisation of registrations and simplifies access to essential documents in the property market and housing-related processes.
Digitalisation reduces bureaucracy in registrations
IRN’s investment in service digitalisation aims to reduce response times and make procedures simpler for citizens and professionals in the property sector. The immediate issuance of the land registry certificate represents another step in the modernisation of public services linked to properties.
With the new digital portal, IRN aims to facilitate operations related to housing, financing and property transfers, allowing faster and more efficient access to land registry information in Portugal.
