In January 2021, the Minister for Agrarian Affairs* announced new Regulations** introducing online document submission processes and administration procedures for the land registry. The new Regulations revoke previous rules relating to hard copy records and include provisions relating to the administration and recording of land registration electronically.

Further, the new Regulations restate that the new registration system is intended for initial land registration and data maintenance. Electronic documents and/or hard copy documents created from the new electronic system, that have been duly authenticated, will be legally valid as evidence.
