Registration Department :
Registration Department is one of the oldest department in the state and it touches citizens at all levels at some time or other.

The main objective of law of registration is to provide a conclusive proof of genuineness of document, afford publicity to transaction, prevent fraud, afford facility for ascertaining whether a property has already been transacted and afford security of title deeds and facility of providing titles in case the original deeds are lost or destroyed.

Registration department at present is the third largest source of revenue to the state exchequer, the first two being sales tax and excise. Registration law governs documents rather than transactions.

The Registration Department in Kerala started functioning from 1st Dhanu 1043ME, in the Travancore area, from 1st Edavam 1050ME in the Cochin area and from 1st January 1865 AD in the Malabar area. Three units have been integrated to form the present Registration Department from 1st November 1956 and the Registration Act, 1908 is in force throughout the State.
