- Download. Get a numbered receipt and the certificate as a PDF. Downloads stay available on the same device for 30 days.
What you get
The full certificate
Registered owner, tenure, deed registration number, area, jurisdiction and issue date.
Proof it is genuine
A QR code and SHA-256 fingerprint linked to the Land Police certificate ledger.
A numbered receipt
Every payment gets a receipt number you can keep for your records.
What a Land Police certificate is, and what it is not
It is
A record from the Land Police register: what Land Police has checked about a parcel (survey, ownership history, conflicts) on the date shown, sealed so any later change is detectable.
It is not
A title deed or an official search. It does not replace registration with the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Country Planning, and it does not by itself transfer or prove legal ownership.
If nothing is found
That only means Land Police has not issued a certificate for that number. It does not mean the land is unregistered or free to buy.
Before you pay for land, confirm the title at the Ministry of Lands and have a Sierra Leone lawyer check the transaction.
Privacy
Only the certificate you search for is shown, and the owner's name is released only after payment. Land Police never shows a list of other certificates.
