Overview
What this service involves
Rwanda's land administration system records parcels using a Unique Parcel Identifier (UPI). The UPI is an essential reference when checking a parcel or starting an official land service.
Services can include searches, transfers, subdivisions, and changes to registered interests. Use the National Land Authority and Irembo instructions to identify the correct process and supporting records.
Before committing to a transaction, verify the current registered owner, parcel details, boundaries, and any recorded restrictions through the official process. Do not rely only on documents supplied by a seller.
