To get a Punjab Green Property Certificate, the current process is:
- Go to your nearest Arazi Record Center (ARC). The process starts there with token issuance and opening your case.
- Submit property details and pay the fee. The reported fee is Rs 950, payable at the ARC’s Bank of Punjab counter or through e-pay methods.
- Complete identity verification. Your original CNIC is checked, biometric verification is done through NADRA, and your mobile/record details are cross-checked. PLRA’s public portals also use CNIC-based registration and mobile verification.
- Ownership history is reviewed. Officials check whether the property is legally registered and whether there are issues such as taxes, mortgages, or court disputes. PLRA describes the certificate as proof that the property is legally registered and recognized in government records.
- Field survey and boundary inspection take place. A surveyor visits the site and uses GPS-based measurement to verify the land and mark boundaries.
- Neighbors verify possession. Two neighboring owners already present in the PLRA record are asked to confirm your ownership/possession.
- Revenue staff verification is done. A gazetted officer or authorized revenue official verifies the possession report in the system.
- A 15-day public notice is issued. If no objection is filed during that period, the case moves forward.
- Final approval is granted. The Assistant Director Land Records reviews the case and, if clear, approves the certificate.
- The Green Property Certificate is issued. PLRA says this certificate verifies the ownership and legal status of the property.
A few practical things to carry:
- Original CNIC
- Registered mobile number
- Basic property particulars/ownership documents
- Payment amount for the fee
You can start by checking PLRA’s Green Property Certificate page and general land-record services portal. PLRA identifies the certificate as an official ownership/legal-status document, and its services are available through Punjab’s digital land-record system.
One caution: the detailed 10-step workflow and the Rs 950 fee are currently reflected in local reporting rather than a fully readable official step-by-step page, because the official Green Certificate page is JavaScript-rendered and not exposing the full instructions through search results. The official PLRA pages do confirm that the certificate exists and that PLRA is the issuing authority.
