About Adayar Sub-Registrar Office

Adayar Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is one of the key property registration offices in Chennai district, functioning under the Chennai Zone of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. The office supports buyers, sellers, and legal representatives by registering property transactions and issuing registration-related services for its notified jurisdiction.

This SRO covers 5 villages under its limits and handles documentation mapped to approximately 54 survey numbers. If your property falls within these villages/survey numbers, Adayar SRO is the designated office for registering sale deeds, gifts, partitions, leases, wills, and for obtaining records like Encumbrance Certificates (EC) and certified copies.

Before proceeding, confirm your property’s village and survey number jurisdiction through TNReginet or by verifying with the SRO, as jurisdiction boundaries and mapping may be updated periodically.
