About Alandur Sub-Registrar Office

Alandur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is an important document registration and land-record service point in the Chennai Zone, commonly used for property transactions in and around Alandur. This SRO helps buyers, sellers, and legal representatives complete registrations such as sale deeds, gifts, partitions, leases, and wills, along with post-registration services like Encumbrance Certificate (EC) and certified copies.

Under its jurisdiction, Alandur SRO covers 3 villages and handles records mapped to approximately 33 total survey numbers. If your property falls within these village limits and survey numbers, your registration will generally be processed at Alandur SRO (subject to any boundary or jurisdiction updates by the Registration Department). For accurate mapping, verify the village name and survey number through TNREGINET or with the SRO before preparing documents.

Documents Required for Registration

Keep the following documents ready to avoid delays during sale deed or other deed registrations at Alandur SRO:

• Sale deed / title document (drafted deed to be registered and supporting title papers)
• ID proofs of buyer and seller: Aadhaar and PAN (carry originals and copies)
• Photographs of buyer and seller (passport-size as required)
