Notification of Cadastral Changes service since October 31, 2016. This service can help people get
immediate registration/changing information on their real estate at any time. This service is free and
can be applied for through the Internet or any land registration office. While the applicants’ real
estates are transferred or mortgaged, the service system will automatically issue the information by

SMS or email as soon as possible to secure the safety of property rights. The service is now more
convenient since people can apply for this service while applying for land registration since Decem-
ber 2018. As of the end of 2022, this service had been utilized 121,373 times.

5. Encouraging Legal Heirs to Apply for Inheritance Registration

Because some legal heirs do not know that they have estates to inherit, the MOI has been work-
ing to promote the service encouraging legal heirs to apply for inheritance registration since June

2014. According to the deceased’s registration of death information provided monthly by the house-
hold registration offices, the local land offices nationwide send notices to remind the heirs to apply
for inheritance registration within the time limit. As of the end of 2022, 666,883 cases had been pro-
actively notified. The notification service not only reduces fines imposed on heirs due to their negli-
gence or unfamiliarity with the laws, but also ensures the rights of the rightful holders, and improves

cadastral and taxation management.

cases, such as change in domicile or name and building number adjustments, etc., but also added

been accepted.
