Cadastral Designation Certificate (CDC)

The official CNR document with the technical data of the property.

What it is

An official document issued by the National Geographic and Cadastre Institute (IGCN). It certifies the technical data of a property: its cadastral area, its location (department and municipality), the details of the registered antecedent if there is one, and those of the registered owner or possessor. It is frequently used for supplementary title or adverse possession procedures.

Timing and coverage

How long it takes depends on the size of the land, the access and the vegetation: an urban lot is not the same as a hillside farm. I tell you when you ask, along with the price, before you commit to anything. I work in El Salvador.

When you need it

  • You possess a property and have no registered deed for it
  • A procedure at the CNR asks for it
  • A notary requires it before going on with a procedure

What you get

  • The completed CDC, if you authorise me to file the procedure at the CNR myself
  • The drawing in PDF, ready to print or to file if you present it yourself, and the CAD DXF too if needed
  • Support through the process until it comes out

What I need from you to start

  • The deed and, if you have it, the registry number
  • Which procedure is asking for it: that decides the format
  • Access to the land to verify on the ground

Shall we talk?

Tell me what you have and what you need. If I cannot solve it, I will say so.
