Title Transfer: The Documents You Need
A simple checklist of the documents and steps involved in transferring a land title in the Philippines.
Documents you will typically need
- Notarized Deed of Absolute Sale
- Owner duplicate copy of the title (TCT or CCT)
- Latest Tax Declaration and Tax Clearance
- BIR forms and proof of paid Capital Gains Tax and Documentary Stamp Tax
- Valid IDs of buyer and seller
The basic steps
After the sale is notarized, taxes are filed and paid with the BIR, which issues a Certificate Authorizing Registration (CAR). The CAR, title, and supporting documents are then presented to the Registry of Deeds for the issuance of a new title, and finally the Tax Declaration is updated at the local assessor office.
