The Tamil Nadu Registration Department is preparing to make its Anywhere Registration facility mandatory for select categories of property documents, marking a major step toward the complete digitization of the property registration process. The initiative is expected to be implemented within the next few weeks. Under the Anywhere Registration system, citizens will be able to register eligible property documents entirely online without the need to physically visit sub-registrar offices. Applicants can upload, submit, and track documents from any location at any time through the department’s official online portal. Once the documents are scrutinized and approved by the concerned sub-registrar, the registered document—authenticated with the officer’s digital signature—will be issued electronically. The final registered document will be made available through the applicant’s login account and will also be delivered via WhatsApp for added convenience. As per the notification issued by the department, the proposed mandatory online registration will apply to specific categories of documents, including first-sale plot transactions, first-sale flat registrations, sale deeds executed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board, and mortgage and receipt documents related to bank loans. To ensure secure and accurate identification, Aadhaar details of all parties involved in a transaction, including witnesses, must be uploaded during the application process. Identity verification will be carried out using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, such as fingerprint or iris scanning. Officials stated that the objective of this initiative is to simplify registration procedures, reduce crowding and footfall at sub-registrar offices, and enhance the speed, efficiency, and transparency of property registration transactions across the state.
