Registry number and cadastral number: how they differ

Distinguish registry and cadastral identifiers and prepare your documents without substituting one number for the other.

Two identifiers with different roles

The registry number identifies a property within its registry references; the cadastral number identifies cadastral information. Do not interchange them in the form. Registry research may also require the district, section or other background to identify the correct property.

Keep the format shown in your documents

Copy numbers from a legible source and check zeros, hyphens and digits. If documents differ, keep both and explain the difference to the office. A similar number or matching name alone does not establish that the property is the same.

When you do not have both

Start with available details and documents that may identify the property. The office will confirm whether more information is needed. Do not select a registry section at random or treat a form suggestion as confirmation of jurisdiction.

Service and platform guidance. Confirm the scope applicable to your case; this does not replace legal advice or a registry certificate.

Continue with clear guidance

Prepare a request or contact the office if you need help identifying the property or service.
