The National Unified Registry (RUN) presented the Digital Cadastral and Property Registration Certificate (CCRID) at López Palace on September 16. The certificate brings together cadastral, registration and surveying information about a property in a single public document. Issuance will begin October 1, with a gradual rollout.
The certificate will include the property's unique identification code, dimensions, boundaries, area, ownership status, restrictions and any overlap with other registered titles. The proposal is to replace inquiries to different departments with an integrated digital procedure, reducing the time and costs involved and the risk of discrepancies in information used in transactions such as purchases and mortgages.
Applications will be submitted through the Sigre system. Users will have to provide the property's details, select the required conditions, add other owners when applicable and attach the required documentation. After registering, they will receive an entry number to download the receipt and track progress through the reports center.
The tool is also intended to make work easier for notaries, owners, buyers and creditors. The integration, however, does not yet cover the entire property database: upcoming challenges include registering the country's properties, cleaning up historical files, assessing overlapping titles and training officials and users.
Law No. 7,424/2025 provides for the gradual integration of cadastral and registration data into property certification and calls for the gradual adoption of a unique code linking the physical and legal status of each property. The sources describe the RUN as part of this reform without attributing the creation of the structure exclusively to the law.
Alberto Martínez Simón, president of the Supreme Court of Justice, announced that a new stage in title digitization will begin October 1—although the presentation text of one report mentions October 9 in a subheading. The work will cover an estimated 70 million pages and will progressively incorporate digital signatures. The announced operational consequence is that the certificate will take effect October 1, while digitization will continue advancing in stages.
Lourdes González, the RUN's senior manager, said the CCRID continues the modernization begun in January with the Single Cadastral-Registration Intake Desk. She said the progress resulted from coordination among technical expertise, technology and teamwork.
Santiago Peña called the measure “a small but extraordinary revolution in legal certainty” and stressed that the launch marks a milestone, not the end of the reform. The president said the integration should provide a more reliable and up-to-date source of information about properties and make it easier to access transactions that depend on proof of ownership.
