Laws Governing Land Registration in the Philippines

Before going into the details of the process, let us first discuss some of the essential laws governing land registration in the Philippines

1. Commonwealth Act 141 – The Public Land Act

The Commonwealth Act No. 1411 was approved on November 7, 1936, by the then President of the Commonwealth Government, Manuel L. Quezon. The Public Land Act is the law that governs lands of the public domain and is the foundation of how lands of the Philippines are classified, surveyed, delimited, disposed of, and registered, among others. 

Under the law, any natural-born Filipino who owns 24 hectares of land or less and who, or his predecessor-in-interest, has continually occupied and cultivated a tract of agricultural land for at least 30 years may be issued a free patent or a land title. The law also provides a judicial process of land titling that any qualified citizen of the Philippines can avail of.

2. Presidential Decree 1529 – The Property Registration Decree

P.D. No. 15292 was approved on June 11, 1978, by President Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. It amended some of the provisions of Commonwealth Act 141 and provided for the establishment of the Land Registration Commission (now called Land Registration Authority or LRA), including the creation of the Registry of Deeds. The requirements and process of land registration were also amended. 

This presidential decree details the procedure for judicial application of land title, claiming ownership over lands subject to the cadastral registration proceedings, and the process of subsequent transfers of land titles to another person, among others.  

3. Republic Act No. 10023 – An Act Authorizing the Issuance of Free Patents to Residential Lands

R.A. No. 100233 was approved on March 09, 2010, by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The law authorized the issuance of free patents to lands categorized as residential to Filipinos who, or their predecessor-in-interests, are actual occupants of residential lands for at least ten years. 

While C.A. No. 141 provides the issuance of free patents limited to agricultural lands, R.A. No. 10023 now allows the application for free patents to agricultural lands and townsite reservations zoned or identified as residential by the Local Government Unit (LGU) through an appropriate ordinance.  

4. Republic Act No. 11573 – An Act Improving the Confirmation Process of Imperfect Land Titles

R.A. No. 115734 as approved on July 16, 2021, by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. The law amended C.A. No. 141 and P.D. No. 1529 to further simplify, update, and harmonize land registration in the Philippines.

Republic Act No. 11573 removes the deadline for applying for agricultural free patents, the restriction to sell or dispose of the land title within a certain period, shortens the proof of occupancy to 20 years from the previous 30 years, simplifies the requirements for application, and shortens the approval process, among other changes.  

For purposes of this guide, we will discuss how to apply for an Original Certificate of Title (OCT) of agricultural and residential land using the administrative and judicial process under the above laws discussed. It is assumed that your land is currently not yet registered or not brought under the Torrens System of land registration, and what you have are only muniments of title (e.g., Tax Declaration, Deed of Sale, Deed of Donation, Extra-Judicial Settlement, or other proof of your claim of ownership).   

Basic Terms You Need To Know About Land Titling

While attempts are made to simplify the explanation of the land titling process, some of the technical terms and phrases used herein might be confusing. Here are some of the words used in this article and their meaning.

1. Torrens System

Torrens System (named after Robert Richard Torrens) is a land registration system adopted in the Philippines and took effect on February 1, 19035. In the Philippines, lands registered under the Torrens System are sometimes called Torrens title or titled land. Torrens title is indefeasible. Any person who deals with titled land can safely rely on the correctness and true ownership of the property. 

2. Unregistered Land

Lands that are not yet registered under the Torrens System are considered unregistered land. When dealing with unregistered lands (e.g., deed of sale, lease, mortgage), the transaction is only valid between the two parties (e.g., seller and buyer) unless you register the document in the Registry of Deeds. 

3. Free Patent

In the Philippines, agricultural lands are distributed or disposed of in four ways. One of which is through the confirmation of an imperfect or incomplete title. The confirmation of your title is done either by

  • Judicial confirmation, where you go to court to apply for a land title, or
  • Administrative legalization, where you go to an administrative agency to apply for a free patent.

Basically, the government grants a public land (or a free patent) to a private person when that private person, or his predecessor-in-interest, is qualified for a grant under the law. As the term implies, applying for a free patent is administrative in nature.  

Previously, only agricultural lands were subject to an application for free patents. Now, residential lands are also covered under Republic Act No. 10023.

4. Predecessor-in-Interest

In the context of land registration, a predecessor-in-interest is any person who previously holds the right or interest of the land you are currently applying for a land title. For example, the seller is your predecessor-in-interest if you acquire the land through a deed of sale; or your parents and grandparents if acquired it through inheritance. 

For residential lands, the law requires that you or your predecessor-in-interest must have been residing and continuously possessing and occupying it for at least ten years. For agricultural land, you have to prove that you or your predecessor-in-interest have continually occupied and cultivated the land for at least 20 years before applying for land title. 

To illustrate: even if you just acquired the land last year, you are still qualified to apply for a title, and it will be issued under your name, provided your predecessor-in-interest has had the land for the number of years required.

5. Certificate of Title

The Certificate of Title or land title is the best evidence of ownership over a parcel of land. The Land Registration Authority issues it after a final judgment ordering the registration of the land in judicial proceedings or after the approval of the DENR in the application for a free patent. It contains the property’s location, size, a unique registration number, and the registered owner. The two types of land titles are

  • Original Certificate of Title (OCT) – issued when land is first brought into the Torrens System or undergone original registration.   
  • Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) – issued for any subsequent transfers of the same land covered by the OCT. 

The Certificate of Title shall have the original copy, which is safely kept by the Registry of Deeds in its vault, and an owner’s duplicate copy or a mirror copy, which the owner keeps. 

Judicial Application vs. Administrative Application of Land Title: What Is the Difference?

Judicial application of land title, also called judicial legalization of imperfect or incomplete title, involves court proceedings. Administrative legalization of an imperfect title is administrative in nature and filed before the DENR. 

Should You Apply for a Land Title Under the Judicial Process or Administrative Proceedings?

Depending on your mode of acquisition over the subject land, you are free to apply either in a judicial or administrative process. However, it might be practical to opt for the administrative process as it is simpler and faster. So in all cases where you, or your predecessor-in-interest,  have continuously occupied and cultivated a tract of alienable and disposable unregistered agricultural public lands for 20 years, or residential land for ten years, you apply at the DENR.

For all other modes of acquisition (e.g., by prescription, or by right of accretion or accession of abandoned river beds, among others), you may go to court.

What Are the Different Parts of a Certificate of Title?

Every certificate of title shall essentially contain

  1. Serial Number of the Certificate of Title
  2. The Registry of Deeds of the province or the city where the title is registered or kept
  3. The type of the title and its number. If it is an original title, it will be indicated as “Original Certificate of Title” or ‘Katibayan ng Original na Titulo.” Meanwhile, if it is a subsequent transfer from the same land, it will be titled “Transfer Certificate of Title”
  4. Full name of the owner, civil status, spouse’s name (if married), citizenship, residence, and postal address. If the property belongs to the conjugal partnership, it will be issued in the name of both spouses.
  5. Signature of the approving officer
  6. Technical description

Under Office of the Court Administrator (OCA) Circular No.107-20229 , the following first-level courts can also hear and determine land registration cases where the assessed value of the land does not exceed one hundred thousand pesos (PHP 100,000): 

  • Metropolitan Trial Courts  (MeTC)

  • Geodetic Engineer’s Certificate on the approved plan or Certification in lieu of Geodetic Engineer’s Certificate issued by the Regional Technical Director concerned
  • All other documents/evidence to prove that you, or your predecessor in interest, have acquired the land in a manner prescribed by law.

4. Judicial Application of Land Title: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1. Gathering and completing all your documents

Given the process is judicial in nature, it is best to secure the services of a lawyer to assist you in completing the documentary requirements to help you draft the petition to be filed in court. This will also ensure that the forms, contents, and evidence to prove your case are complete.

Step 2. Filing of the application/petition in court

The petition, together will all the attachments, shall be filed in the Regional Trial Court or the first-level courts of the city or province where the land is located.

Step 3. Issuance and publication of the notice of initial hearing 

Within five days from filing the petition, the court will issue an order setting the date and hour of the initial hearing of your application. The notice of initial hearing shall also be:

  • Posted in conspicuous places of the province, city, or municipalities

Step 4. Opposition to the application

Any person may oppose the application on or before the date of the initial hearing, or at any time allowed by the court. For example, another person occupying the land you are applying for a title is also claiming ownership, or perhaps they occupy a portion of the land. Naturally, that person will go to court to oppose your application. If no person appears to oppose your application, that is the time the judge will order you to present evidence to prove that you are qualified for a title to the land.

Step 5. Hearing and judgment confirming the title

If the court finds that you have the title proper for registration, it will issue a judgment confirming your title to the land  

Step 6. Issuance of Decree of registration and Certificate of Title

If no one appeals, the decision becomes final. The court will direct the Land Reregistration Authority to issue the decree of registration and the certificate of title.

Tips and Warnings

1. Owners’ Duplicate Copy of Certificate of Title should be safely secured all the time 

If you lose your copy, you will have to undergo an expensive and tedious process of reconstitution of the title. 

Reconstitution of title is a judicial process which means you’ll have to go to court and hire the services of a lawyer to help you file the case.

2. Make sure all the requirements are complete before submitting your application

Incomplete documents will result in a delay in the approval of your title.

3. Patience is required when applying for a land title 

This is because the process is sometimes not straightforward, especially if a document is difficult to obtain or there are claimants and opposition to your application. 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to apply for a land title in the Philippines?

For the application for a free patent at the CENRO, the application fee is only PHP 50 plus three pieces of documentary tax worth PHP 15 each. 

For judicial application, the total fees payable to the Clerk of Court shall be PHP 2,913 for all applications filed at the first-level courts (MeTC, MTCC, MTC, MCTC); and PHP 5,183 for all applications filed at the RTC. You can access the breakdown of the cost here.

Not factored in are miscellaneous expenses such as notarial costs, photocopying, publication in a newspaper, hiring the services of geodetic engineers and lawyers, and unpaid taxes, among many others, as these costs vary from place to place and the nature of the property.

2. How long does it take to process land title in the Philippines?

Under the administrative application, the CENRO has 120 calendar days from acceptance of your application to process and evaluate your documents; PENRO has five days to approve or deny your application and five days to transmit the approval to the Registry of Deeds. 

In a judicial application, the court has five days from receipt of your application to issue an order setting the date and hour of the initial hearing of your application. The initial hearing is not earlier than 45 days but not later than 90 days from the date of the court order. The length of time for the formal hearing of your case will depend upon many factors, such as the court’s schedule and the number of evidence and witnesses you’ll present, among others. From the date the case is submitted for decision, the court has 90 days to issue a decision.  

Usually, the time frame in land title applications takes longer when there is opposition; or when your documents are incomplete. 

3. I have already migrated to another country and became a citizen there. Can I still apply for a land title in the Philippines?

Yes. You may still be able to apply for a land title provided you are a dual citizen as provided for by Republic Act 9225, otherwise known as the Citizen Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 200310.

4. Who issues land titles in the Philippines?

Land titles are issued either by the Regional Trial Court, the first-level courts, or the DENR after the applicant goes through the judicial or administrative application process. 

For subsequent transfers of the same registered land (e.g., by Deed of Sale, Donation, inheritance, etc.), the Land Registration Authority facilitates the issuance of a Transfer Certificate of Title.  

5. What is the difference between land rights and land title?

“Rights” is often used when a claimant or occupant of a parcel of land has no formal title over a property. For example, a person who bought unregistered land from another who holds a tax declaration; or a buyer who purchased a real estate on an installment basis. While the buyers do not own a title to the property, they have a right, which could ripen into ownership one day. 

A “right” can be conveyed, sold, or transferred to another person. 

On the other hand, a land title is conclusive proof of ownership. When a title is issued in your name, the court or the administrative agency has already ascertained that you possess all the qualifications to own the land.

6. I am currently working abroad. Can I assign someone to process the land titling of my land?

Yes, even if you are abroad, you can still apply for land titling by appointing an authorized representative through a Special Power of Attorney.

7. I inherited an unregistered land from my deceased parents. Can I register it in my name?

Yes, you can register the land and have the Original Certificate of Title issued in your name. Your period of occupation and that of your parents, as a predecessor-in-interest, will be added together. You need to submit an Extrajudicial Settlement of Estate (if there are several heirs) or an Affidavit of Self Adjudication (if you are the only heir), along with other requirements to apply for a land title.

8. I bought an unregistered land with only a Tax Declaration. Can I apply for land titling and have it registered in my name?

Yes, you can apply for a land title and have the Original Certificate of Title issued in your name. Your period of occupation and that of the seller will be added together. If you qualify and comply with the requirements, you’ll be able to register land and obtain a certificate of title. 

9. What is the DENR title?

A DENR Title or a free patent is the title issued by the DENR under the administrative process of land titling for both agricultural and residential. 

10. Can land be sold without a title?

Yes, land can be sold, mortgaged, leased, or any other dealings, even if it has no title or is considered unregistered land. However, the transaction is only valid between the parties (i.e., buyer and seller), unless the seller registers the document in the Register of Deeds of the province or city where the land is located, in which case, the registration serves as a constructive notice to third parties of your right over the land. 

Of course, the transaction is still valid even if you do not register the deed of sale at the Registry of Deeds. The purpose of registration is merely to notify other persons, who are not a party to the deed of sale, that a transaction involving the land is recorded. Thus, you may be able to prevent the double sale, or if the same land is sold again to a different person, you will have a better right over the other.

11. Is a Tax Declaration a proof of ownership of land?

No. A Tax Declaration is not a proof of ownership but merely a proof that an individual is paying the real estate tax of a parcel of land. 

In one case11, the Supreme Court ruled that tax declarations and receipts are not conclusive proof of ownership or the right to possess the land if there is no other supporting evidence of ownership. Declaring the property for taxation purposes in the applicant’s name for registration does not necessarily prove ownership but merely indicates a claim of ownership. The Certificate of Title is the best proof of ownership over a parcel of land.

12. Is the Deed of Sale of a parcel of land proof of ownership?

No. A Deed of Sale is not a proof of ownership but merely evidence of a transaction whereby two parties entered a contract of sale of a parcel of land. The Certificate of Title is the best evidence of ownership over a property. If you want a Certificate of Title issued in your name, you must go through the judicial or administrative process of applying for a land title.

13. Can a land title have two owners?

Yes, a land title can have two owners. For example, you and your sibling inherited an undivided land parcel from your deceased parents. You become a co-owner of the said land, and both your names could be written on the Certificate of Title. Another example is when the subject property belongs to the conjugal partnership. The title shall be issued in the husband and wife’s name.
