Registries (IRN)PDF form

Application for Recognition of Ownership of Unregistered Land (Procedimento Especial de Justificação BUPi – Prédio Omisso)

Blank application under the BUPi procedure for rural or mixed-use land that has never been registered. We explain the fields and how to fill them in.

What it is for

Requesting that land with no registration be entered in the Land Registry
Establishing ownership when there is no deed or other formal title

Example (fictitious). Titus Gorila has been farming an olive grove for thirty years, inherited by word of mouth, and finally wants it in his name.

What it is

This is the application for the special BUPi justification procedure for unregistered rural or mixed-use properties, that is, those with no Land Registry (registo predial) entry. If the process goes well, it leads to the registration of the applicant's right. The form is only the application: it does not confirm ownership and cannot be used for land that is already described.

What you receive

You receive the official blank PDF form, with an explanation of what it is for. The Titus assistant answers your questions about filling it in. You can combine it with other documents in the same request, with a single payment. We do not ask for any password for forms.

Do you have questions about this form? Ask, for example, what a field means or who should sign it.

The assistant explains; it does not fill in or submit anything on your behalf. Do not type passwords or third parties' data.

Things to note

The form is provided blank for the applicant to fill in and sign. The evidence to attach and the next steps should be confirmed with the competent office. Titus Docs does not submit the application and does not guarantee the decision.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose this version rather than the one for described properties?

When the land has never been registered. If it already has a Land Registry description, the other form is the right one.

Does the form replace a deed?

No. It is an application to establish your right before the registry, and the outcome depends on the office's assessment.
