Guide to obtaining a land registry certificate

The land registry certificate is an official document issued by the Revenue Agency, Land Registry section, which reports the identification and income data of a property (land or building).

It certifies the ownership or real rights on a real estate property, indicating the cadastral coordinates , the income , the surface area and the personal information of the owner.

This is an essential document for practices such as inheritance.

What is the purpose of the land registry report?

The land registry search is required in numerous legal, inheritance and administrative circumstances to verify the ownership and cadastral status of a property.

It is necessary, for example, for the inheritance declaration;

The document does not constitute proof of ownership rights in the civil sense, but represents an official source of land registry and income data , useful for tax, patrimonial and administrative purposes.

What's the difference between a mortgage certificate and a land registry certificate?

To fully understand a property's situation, it's crucial to distinguish between the land registry and the mortgage certificate. The land registry certificate provides a technical and fiscal "identity card" for the property, indicating data such as its cadastral income and its size (square meters, rooms). Its value is purely for tax purposes and not probative.

Conversely, the mortgage certificate (or mortgage inspection), drawing on the Land Registry's records (Real Estate Advertising Services), documents the legal situation. It certifies the rightful owner, traces the history of ownership transfers, and, most importantly, reveals the existence of any encumbrances, such as mortgages or foreclosures, providing essential evidentiary value for any real estate transaction.

In addition to the land registry survey, the Agenzia delle Successioni can also handle the procurement of inheritance deeds, historical land registry extracts, plans and registry certificates necessary for the inheritance declaration .
