For many years, people faced difficulty in checking ownership of the property. There was no online system for people to check online property or land records. In the old system, people had to deal with Patwaris. The old system was slow and was the main cause of corruption in property or land-related matters.

To stop this corruption and making this property ownership process easy, the Government of Pakistan decided to make an online system for property and land records. However, this system is not available for all provinces of Pakistan.

Only Punjab and Sindh Government have launched the online facility for checking property ownership. In this article, we will guide you about how to check property ownership in Pakistan online. 

Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA)

The Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) launched a system for land and property records. People who have a property in Punjab can check the records via the online Land Records Management Information System (LRMIS). The Punjab Land Record Authority manages all the land and property related matters in the province.
