Real Estate Registry

What Real Estate Registry does

The Real Estate Registry (السجل العقاري) is the National Real Estate Registration Services Company, a Saudi Arabian corporation wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and operating in collaboration with the General Authority for Real Estate. It holds an exclusive government mandate to conduct nominal real estate registration operations across Saudi Arabia, making it the sole official registry for property ownership records, transfers, encumbrances, and survey data in declared real estate areas.

The company operates a unified digital platform spanning three purpose-built portals: the eServices portal (eservices.rer.sa) for individual property owners covering first-time registration, ownership transfer, splitting and merging, rights/restrictions/obligations management, title verification, property data search, appointment booking, correction requests, meter registration, on-demand deed registration, and survey report issuance; the Business Portal (business.rer.sa) for institutional owners, banks, and developers providing centralized portfolio management, role-based access control, payment processing, and performance analytics; and the Developer Portal (red.rer.sa) for off-plan sales licensing, certificate issuance, and certificate management. Native mobile applications on iOS and Android extend access, complemented by a network of licensed real estate registrars authorized by the General Authority for Real Estate and a dedicated grievance portal.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees on property registration services (first-time registration, ownership transfer, splitting, merging, document verification) determined by regulatory authorities; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans individuals, businesses, banks, real estate developers, and licensed registrars. The company is chaired by the Minister of Municipalities and Housing and operates under Saudi Vision 2030, with the national real estate sector targeted to reach 8.8% of GDP by 2030.
