The Lands Commission said it will have a one-stop verification mechanism for all land searches completed at the Commission starting on Friday, October 1, 2021.
The Commission claims that all of its divisions’ reports will be combined into a single report.
This was made known in a press release signed by its Executive Secretary, James E.K. Dadson, on Thursday, September 23, 2021.
According to the statement, effective October 1, 2021, the Greater Accra Regional Office of the Lands Commission will no longer issue separate search reports from its divisions, namely the Public and Vested Land Management Division (PVLMD), Land Registration Division (LRD), and Survey and Mapping Division (SMD).

As a result, the Commission has urged the public to use its portal to submit search requests.
