Agricultural Deed Digitization: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to convert your paper land deeds into secure digital records linked to your national ID.

This program allows farmers to convert their traditional paper-based land documents into secure digital records.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for farmers who currently hold old, paper-based land deeds for their agricultural property. If your land ownership is currently documented only on physical paper, this process is intended to bring your records into the modern digital system.

What you get

By completing this process, you will receive a secure, digital property deed. This new digital record is officially linked to your national ID, ensuring that your land ownership is tied directly to your identity. This modernization helps ensure your property records are legally recognized and easier to manage within the national system.

What it costs you

While there may be no direct service fee mentioned, the process requires specific requirements to be met before you can proceed. You must provide a professional survey report that details your land. Additionally, you must ensure that there are no outstanding land disputes or active legal conflicts regarding the property, as any unresolved claims will prevent the digitization from moving forward.

The catch to know

The main challenge with this process is the timeline. It can take several months for the digitization to be finalized, particularly if your land boundaries are not clearly defined or if the physical layout of the farm makes it difficult to establish exact borders. Ensuring your boundaries are precise before you begin can help avoid long delays.

How to apply

  1. Gather your existing paper-based land deeds to confirm your current ownership details.
  2. Arrange for a professional survey to be conducted to establish clear land boundaries.
  3. Verify that your land is free from any active legal disputes or competing claims.
  4. Submit your documentation and complete the digital update through the official portal: https://www.moj.gov.sa
