The State Cadastre Agency (ASHK) has published an informative guide for citizens wishing to apply for cadastral services through an expedited procedure, known as FAST. Through the e-Albania platform, applicants can select the relevant service and follow the application procedure, bearing in mind that FAST services are subject to an additional fee.

According to the published information, citizens must first identify the service they need and check whether it is available through the expedited procedure.

The application is then submitted through the e-Albania platform by following the usual steps for completing the form.

How to Apply for FAST Services?

Step 1 – Identify the Service You Need

First, citizens must determine which cadastral service they wish to apply for.

To check whether this service is available through the FAST expedited procedure, they should consult the official website of the State Cadastre Agency at ashk.gov.al/sherbime/.

On this page, they can find information about the services available through the expedited procedure and the applicable fees.

Step 2 – Log In to the e-Albania Platform

Once you have identified the service, log in to the e-Albania platform and search for the cadastral service you wish to apply for.

Select the relevant service and start the application process by completing the form according to the platform's requirements.

Step 3 – Open the “Select Services” Section

During the application process, the “Select Services” section will appear in the form, where you can add the service you are applying for.

This section contains the “+ Add Service” button, which opens the list of available services.

Step 4 – Delete the Preselected Service

ASHK explains that, in cases where a service has already been preselected in the form, citizens must remove it before searching for the corresponding expedited version.

To do this, in the “Select Services” section, swipe your finger from right to left over the displayed service.

After this action, the red “Delete” button will appear. Press it to remove the selected service.

Step 5 – Add the Service with the Expedited Procedure

After deleting the previous service, press the “+ Add Service” button again.

In the window that opens, search for the relevant service by entering the prefix “PP-” before its name.

According to the guide published by the Cadastre Agency, this prefix is used to identify services offered through the expedited procedure.

The list of services may include, among others, names such as:

  • PP–Registration of a Sales Contract;

  • PP–Registration of a Donation Contract;

  • Other cadastral services offered through the expedited procedure.

Select the service that matches your request.

Step 6 – Continue Completing the Application

Once you have selected the correct service, press the “Continue” button and follow the remaining steps of the form.

Complete the required information and follow the instructions displayed on the platform to finalize the application.

Are FAST Services Subject to an Additional Fee?

Yes. The State Cadastre Agency states that an additional fee applies to services offered through the FAST expedited procedure.

The fee depends on the relevant service, so citizens are advised to check the information published on the official ASHK website in advance.

It should be noted that not every cadastral service is necessarily available through the expedited procedure.
