How to obtain an online certificate confirming whether you own real estate in Albania – A step-by-step guide

In many administrative, legal, or financial procedures, citizens are required to provide a document confirming whether they own real estate in the Republic of Albania. Thanks to the electronic services offered by the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK), this certificate can now be obtained easily through the e-Albania portal without visiting a service office.

The service "Application for the Issuance of Certificates (Negative/Positive for the Entire Territory)" allows citizens to obtain an official document confirming whether they own any registered real estate anywhere in Albania.

What Is a Negative or Positive Ownership Certificate?

This is an official document issued by the State Cadastre Agency that indicates an individual's ownership status.

A positive certificate confirms that the individual owns one or more registered real estate properties.

A negative certificate confirms that the individual is not registered as the owner of any real estate property within the territory of the Republic of Albania.

This document is commonly required for court proceedings, loan applications, social benefits, inheritance procedures, applications to public institutions, and many other cases where proof of property ownership is needed.
