Thiruvadanai SRO

About Thiruvadanai Sub-Registrar Office

Thiruvadanai Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration authority in Ramanathapuram district, operating under the Ramanathapuram zone of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. This SRO plays an important role for buyers, sellers, and families handling land and document transactions in and around Thiruvadanai by ensuring legal recording of deeds and maintaining public registration records.

The Thiruvadanai SRO has jurisdiction over 41 villages and covers a large land record base with approximately 22,502 total survey numbers. If your property falls within these villages/survey numbers, registrations such as sale deeds, settlement/gift deeds, partitions, leases, and other registrable documents are typically processed here. Knowing the correct SRO is crucial because documents must be registered in the office that has jurisdiction over the property location.

Documents Required for Registration
