Public Registry Extract & Cadastral Code — How to Verify Property in 2026

The official Public Registry Extract (NAPR) is the sole legally binding proof of real estate ownership in Georgia. Whether buying an apartment, providing collateral, or signing a lease, verifying the registry extract is the essential first step.

What Is a Cadastral Code and How to Read It

Every land parcel and registered unit in Georgia has a unique cadastral code (for example 01.14.03.001.025). Read the segments on the extract and on the cadastre map — do not decode the code by eye.

The Three Core Sections of the Extract

1. Ownership Title (Section I): Legal owner full name, personal identification number, and title acquisition deed (sale-purchase agreement, gift, inheritance, or privatization).
2. Mortgages and Collateral (Section II): Discloses any bank or private mortgage, principal loan amount, and claim priority. A mortgaged property cannot be transferred without written consent from the mortgagee.
3. Liens, Restraints, and Tax Seizures (Section III): Any court attachment, enforcement bureau freeze, or tax lien freezes title transfers completely until formally released.

4 Rules to Avoid Costly Traps

• Extract Date: Always request a fresh extract on the morning of the transaction. Extracts cost 13 GEL for 1 business day or 52 GEL for same-day electronic issuance.
• Verify the Barcode and QR Code: Every authentic NAPR extract features a unique barcode and QR code linking directly to napr.gov.ge to guarantee authenticity.
• Cross-check Cadastral Boundaries: Inspect official parcel borders on the sivrce cadastre map. Actual fences or structural extensions frequently deviate from registered boundaries.
• Multiple Owners: If multiple co-owners are listed on title, each must sign the agreement in person or provide a certified power of attorney.
