National Agency of Public Registry

What National Agency of Public Registry does

The National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) is a Georgian state legal entity (LEPL) operating under the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, headquartered in Tbilisi. Established in its current form in 2010, NAPR administers 12 interconnected public registries including the Land Registry, Business Registry, Economic Activity Registry, Pledge and Lease Registry, Address Registry, Cadastre, Political Parties Registry, Municipalities Registry, Restrictions Registry, and Public Status Registry. The agency serves all Georgian citizens, businesses, entrepreneurs, authorized notaries/banks/surveyors, and the Georgian diaspora through a hybrid distribution model comprising 9 regional offices, the nationwide Justice House network, and the digital Smart Contract platform.

NAPR's technology stack includes the Smart Contract platform — the world's first blockchain-based property registration system deployed by a public institution — which enables fully remote real estate transactions with simultaneous escrow settlement via partner banks (Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Cartu Bank, Basis Bank, Ziraat Bank, Liberty Bank). An AI-powered remote identity verification system supports Smart Contract sessions using computer vision and audio/video biometrics. The NSDI.GOV.GE geoportal provides unified digital access to national spatial data, supported by a GNSS reference station network. The agency has surveyed over 1.5 million land parcels and registered more than 1 million property owners (approximately 30% of Georgia's population) under the nationwide Land Systematic Registration Reform covering all 59 municipalities.

Revenue is generated through government-mandated transaction fees set by the Ministry of Justice: property registration ranges from 150 GEL (4 working days) to 350 GEL (same-day), the Smart Contract escrow service costs 35 GEL, and individual entrepreneur registration ranges from 26 to 101 GEL. Operations are additionally funded by the state budget and co-funded by international donors including UNDP, UK Aid, and the World Bank.

Scale indicators5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• ChromaWay: Swedish blockchain technology vendor whose land-registry stack underpins several national property-registry pilots (including with Sweden's Lantmäteriet and partners in Georgia-adjacent markets). Comparable to NAPR at the technology-stack layer powering the Smart Contract platform.
• BenBen: Emerging-market digital land-registry startup that tokenizes and digitizes land titles using blockchain (active in Ghana, South Africa, Zambia). Comparable to NAPR's Smart Contract approach as a tech-forward registry modernization player, though operating as a private vendor rather than a state agency.

Direct peers

• State Service for Property Issues under the Ministry of Economy of Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan's national agency overseeing property rights registration and cadastre, partnered with NAPR via a 2023 memorandum. Direct functional peer serving the same citizen use cases (property rights, cadastre) in an adjacent Caucasus jurisdiction.
• Singapore Land Authority (SLA): Singapore's national land authority managing land registration, land surveys, geodesy, and geospatial data. Comparable to NAPR in combining cadastral, geoinformation, and property-registration functions under a single national digital agency.
• HM Land Registry: The UK government agency responsible for registering property and land ownership in England and Wales. Comparable to NAPR as a national property registry operator actively experimenting with blockchain-based property registration (similar to NAPR's Smart Contract initiative).
• Cadastre Agency under the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Uzbekistan: Uzbekistan's national cadastre and land registry agency, currently modernizing systematic land registration with NAPR as a reference partner. Most direct peer in terms of simultaneous land-reform stage and reliance on NAPR-like digital cadastre tools.
• Lantmäteriet (Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration authority): Sweden's national land registration and cadastral agency, operating a unified digital property registry with nationwide geospatial services. Highly comparable to NAPR in mandate (cadastre + property registry) and in pursuit of fully digital property transactions, making it a benchmark peer for registry modernization.
• Estonian Land Board (Maa-amet): Estonia's national land registry and geospatial agency operating one of the world's most digitized e-governance stacks. Strongly comparable to NAPR as a small-country digital land authority with e-services and cadastral data, and a reference point for blockchain/disintermediation experiments.

Regional players

• Türkiye General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (TKGM): Turkey's national land registry and cadastre agency, also operating a property-information and parcel-query platform (e-Government parcel search). Same business model as NAPR (state-run registry + digital services) at a larger national scale in the same regional neighborhood.
• Indonesian Ministry of Agrarian Affairs / ATR-BPN: Indonesia's national land agency managing land titles, registration, and certification at scale. Comparable to NAPR as a large state-run agency pursuing full digitization of land registration and integrating cadastral/geo data, though operating in a much larger jurisdiction.
