What arrives after approval.
Three things, all linked to your land record forever.
Anyone can use this to confirm your land is registered. Safe to share with banks, buyers, lawyers, or surveyors.
Needed any time you sell or transfer your land. Never share this with anyone, the same way you protect your bank PIN. Do not write it on paper or send it by phone.
Available from your dashboard at any time. Annual ground rent receipts file under the same record.
Verify any land in five minutes.
Enter the land reference number and receive an official report. You also get the GPS location and boundary of the land, so you can drive there yourself and confirm it is exactly what you were shown.
Both parties must sign.
No transfer goes through until the current owner personally confirms they agree through the portal. This makes it impossible for anyone to transfer your land without your knowledge.
Run a verification before you commit a single naira.
Submit the transfer with seller details and supporting documents.
The current owner logs into the portal and confirms they agree to the sale. Without this, no transfer can proceed.
Transfer fees are paid online. You can track the status at any time from your dashboard.
The registry is updated. The new owner can now access and manage the land from their own account.
