What does the Land Book contain ?
A new sheet is added each time the owner changes. In case of fragmentation, a new book is created. Its color may vary depending on the date of publication: pink, green. It is kept in a safe and secure place (at least in theory...). Obtaining a Duplicate is a difficult exercise. When you sever land, each new severed land will have its own book. The "mother book" will be handed over to the land registry services, if all the land has been parceled out in full. It may happen that there remains a parcel, the details of these parcelling out will be added in appendices in the main book. When consulting the land register, you must carefully read all the sheets in the appendix.

How to obtain the land register Procedure and procedure to follow
Tracking and descent on the ground
The establishment of the regular plan is the responsibility of the topographic service. He is in charge of site scouting. A deposit of 5000 Ariary (this may vary, inquire well) must be paid to obtain the registration number. It will serve as a reference for the follow-up of your file. The descent on the ground is carried out to establish the inventory of fixtures and the observation. A second tracking will be carried out later to ensure that the file can be processed.
Registration for the title
Then comes the registration for obtaining your title. This is where you assign a name to your land. You pay 50,000 Ariary (this may vary, inquire well) to obtain the title number.
Preparation of the demarcation
Once the title has been obtained, the topographic service prepares the file for demarcation. Then comes the final submission of the file to the domains service by the topographic service. At the service of the estates, the Head of Region or the Minister (depending on the area of the land) approves the Final Plan. You pay the fees to the registration and stamps service. Then return to the service of the domains which will deliver you, in the end, the Land Book. For further :
