Answers to your questions.

What is the document used for?

DGID lists uses including lease, registration, building authorisation and parcel subdivision files. Explain which file you are preparing so you can request the appropriate document.

Which office handles it?

The issuing service is the territorially competent cadastral office. Start with the parcel’s location; a national headquarters address alone does not identify your local office. DGID can help direct your enquiry.

What should you prepare?

The official sheet lists an application. Ask the office how to submit it and which references help identify your parcel before travelling. These preparation questions are not additional mandatory-document requirements.

  • Identify the commune and parcel location.
  • Gather references already shown in your documents.
  • Explain whether the plan is for building, a lease or another file.
