  • An email address

  1. Go to ardhisasa.lands.go.ke, click Register and choose individual or company.

Watch out

  • Keep your Ardhisasa ID safe. In a land transfer, the advocate needs the Ardhisasa IDs of both buyer and seller, and each of you confirms the deal from your own account.
  • Advocates, surveyors, valuers and physical planners must also apply for a professional account upgrade before they can start transactions. Ministry staff check your registration with your professional body first.
  • Every login needs an OTP sent to your phone, so register with a number you will keep.

Who can apply

  • Anyone who needs Lands services online. You can register as an individual or as a company.
