Securing a Certified True Copy of your property title is easier and more convenient. 99 percent of the Registry of Deeds offices are now online. The Land Registration Authority launched its Anywhere-to-Anywhere (A2A) online program back in 2012. The online shift allows title holders the faculty of requesting for their Certified True Copy (CTC) titles by visiting the Registry of Deeds office nearest to them, filling up a form, and claiming it on the same branch after it has been processed.

For easier applications, the LRA has continually worked on expanding its online reach by establishing satellite offices all over the country. Out of the 164 registry offices scattered nationwide, 159 offices are already computerized and ready to provide A2A services.

The launch of A2A follows the heels of LRA’s Online Tracking System (LOTS) which lets title holders check the status of their transactions. The digital service, which can be accessed through the department’s website, sets the pace on the online expansion of LRA’s other services. In the pipeline are other digital projects like the LRA Aksyon Agad Center, e-Title service, Parcel Verification Service, Lot Location Service, Title Trace Back Service, and Geo-Spatial services. 

Currently, the LRA is focused on improving their A2A project by expanding their reach nationwide.

Land Registration Authority A2A Program: CTC of Property Title In 3 Easy Steps

Tuesday, February 06, 2018



Whether you are already a land owner or someone considering buying a real estate property, it is very important that you know about the  documents pertaining to the property.  Certified True Copies (CTCs) are legal papers which are part of due diligence when buying a property in the country, also serve as the documents validating the authenticity of the real estate. CTCs of titles serve as important requirements for functions like land transfer and purchase. Moreover, it is a primary document that is used to check the authenticity and legitimacy of a title to a property.

The Land Registration Authority (LRA) is the government agency handling the issuance of CTCs of titles in the country. In addition to this function, the LRA serves to issue decrees of registration, works to issue transfer certificates of title, and keeps a title history of record transactions of titled lands. 


In addition to the LRA’s mission to manage functions relating to properties in the country, the agency has also focused its efforts in improving user access to their services through the use of advanced automated systems and modern facilities. In particular, one of its biggest moves was the launch of its Anywhere-to-Anywhere (A2A) service. The service answers the all too common concern of landowners in the facility of securing certified true copies of titles kept in different Registries nationwide. 


Before, one would have to travel to the location where their property is registered to request for their title. Not only is this time-consuming, it can also be costly as well. The A2A service changes the face of securing CTCs by putting all their titles under the jurisdiction of a computerized registry. To use the A2A, a landowner simply has to go and visit the nearest Registry of Deeds to him / her. A form will be then required to be filled out with the title number, name of owner, and the local area of Registry of Deeds where the copy of the title is. A processing fee needs to be paid at the end of the process and the landowner will be given an official receipt that he / she has to submit on the day he can claim his CTC. The owner will then get a CTC of their property title. 


Get you CTC is 3 easy steps

Step ONE: Visit any Registry of Deeds Office

Go to the nearest Registry of Deeds office. Make sure you bring a valid ID. Have the following information ready: Title Number, Name of the registered owner of the title, local area of the Registry of Deeds office where a copy of the title is lodged. 

Step TWO: Pay the processing fee

For list of fees, visit http://lra.gov.ph/services/fees.html

Step THREE: Bring the OR when you claim your CTC

An official receipt will be issued upon payment and a scheduled date of when the document will be available for pick up. Make sure that you bring the OR when you claim the CTC.


The service is part of the LRAs efforts to better serve the public. Though the agency has been around for more than a century as sole repository for land titles, it is one of the most lauded government organizations when it comes to keeping up with the times. In fact, on February 2017, the government agency received a recognition as an ISO 9001:2008 compliant government organization. The distinction signifies that the LRA practices clear policies, demonstrates good planning, resource management, and commitment to the public as certified by international standard assessors.



The A2A service is just among the many efforts of the agency to deliver efficient service to the public. The new system is a game changer among landowners who often have to go through the painstaking process of getting the documents they need for their properties. Drop by the nearest A2A Registry of Deeds closest to you and check the Land Registration Authority’s website or you may directly visit http://lra.gov.ph/services/new-services/a2a-anywhere-to-anywhere.html for more information.
