In a significant move towards modernization and efficiency, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning & Construction (MLMUPC) has launched a new digital service to improve the process of land-related transactions and management.
Introduced on the 7th of January 2025, this service marks a milestone in Cambodia's efforts to adopt digital solutions in government operations, making it easier for citizens, businesses, and investors to interact with the ministry following the Pentagonal Strategy – Phase One.
The new digital service simplifies procedures that were once time-consuming and paper-based. Users can now access various land-related services online through “cadastral.mlmupc.gov.kh”, which simplifies procedures that were once time-consuming and paper-based. Users can now access various land-related services online, including:
- Land title registration: Manage and register property ownership more efficiently.
- Ownership transfer services: Facilitate legal property sales by streamlining the transfer of ownership.
- Gift services: Allow for property transfers without financial compensation, with clear legal validation.
- Mortgage and pledge services: Provide collateral management to secure debts, giving creditors priority over claims in case of default.
- Document storage and requests: Review and track submitted documents, ensuring transparency and access to critical records.
Additionally, the platform includes features such as automatic number registration, land parcel consolidation, co-owner separation, and property ownership division services, introduced as part of a pilot program in Phnom Penh. These enhancements aim to reduce bureaucracy, increase transparency, and save time for all parties involved.
To further enhance convenience, the platform is integrated with two of Cambodia’s leading financial institutions - the Advanced Bank of Asia Limited (ABA) and ACLEDA Bank Plc. These integrations ensure secure and efficient payment processing for land-related fees.
How Does This Impact the Cambodian Real Estate Sector?
Cambodia’s real estate and land management processes have relied heavily on manual systems, which could lead to delays, inefficiencies, and occasional confusion. The new digital platform addresses these challenges by reducing the processing time in which old transaction methods that used to take weeks can now be completed in days, enhancing transparency with the online system that provides clear and real-time updates on the status of applications, as well as improving the accessibility because now individuals can access services from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need to visit government offices.
For real estate businesses like Realestate.com.kh, this development is particularly significant. As Cambodia’s leading real estate platform, we aim to connect buyers, sellers, and investors with opportunities in the market. With the MLMUPC’s new digital service, property transactions can be completed more efficiently, creating a smoother experience for everyone involved.
