Title Transfer
Procedure and requirements for transferring land title in Cambodia.
Below are the minimum documents which the cadastral authorities will require in order to transfer title to a parcel of registered land.
Where the seller is an individual
- Thumb-printed Vente Definitive transfer form;
- ID card of the seller – certified copy (certification was formerly done by City or Provincial Hall; the local Khan office now has authority to certify).
Where the seller is a company
The following additional documents are required:
- Power of attorney or resolution of the company owning the land to sell the land, signed and certified in the presence of a member of the Cambodian bar. The cadastral authority wants it certified by the Sangkat, but the Sangkat is not able to attend the signing, so the Sangkat will certify documents once they have first been certified by a lawyer;
- ID card of the authorized representative of the company – certified copy;
- Patent Tax certificate – certified copy;
- Memorandum and Articles of the company – certified copy;
- Ministry of Commerce letter of approval on incorporation of the company;
- Tax returns of the company.
For transfer tax, who must attend before the cadastral officials, and registration timing, see Land Title & Property Ownership.
