How do you get an extract from the public registry about a property owner?
Who can request it, what it costs and how fast.
Short answer
Anyone can request an extract about immovable property from Georgia's public registry for a fee of GEL 13 to 75, depending on the turnaround and how you apply. In person it is GEL 20 for 1 working day and GEL 75 on the day of filing, online GEL 13 and 52. The extract shows the rights registered to the property at the moment it is prepared. An extract in English costs GEL 26 more.
Why
- The Law on the Public Registry (Article 10) provides that an extract is given to any person on payment of the fee, and registry data and stored documents are public and open to anyone for viewing (Article 6).
- An extract from the Registry of Immovable Property Rights covers registered immovable things and reflects only data valid at the moment it is prepared (Article 10).
- The Agency may accept applications electronically, and documents can be collected at any territorial office or from an authorised person (Article 7).
Details
Fees as of the check date, 10 November 2026: preparing an extract in person costs GEL 20 for 1 working day and GEL 75 on the day of filing, and for an electronic request via the internet GEL 13 and 52. A separate certificate on the recorded data on rights and obligations related to ownership of immovable property costs GEL 13 in 4 working days, GEL 26 in 1 day and GEL 39 on the day of filing. Whether the extract shows the owner's name: to be clarified.
If you are buying a home, the law establishes a person's right to immovable property precisely by an extract from the public registry (Article 10), see how a foreigner can buy an apartment in Georgia.
Tip
Order online: it is cheaper for the same turnaround (GEL 13 instead of 20 and 52 instead of 75). An extract in English is charged separately, +GEL 26.
What may differ
Fees change, so check the fees page on napr.gov.ge. The content of the extract and the electronic ordering procedure are set by an instruction of the Minister of Justice.
Common misconception
Only the owner can get an extract about a property.
What actually happens
This is not true. Under Article 10 of the Law on the Public Registry, an extract is given to any person on payment of the fee.
