Carrying a complete set of documents is essential for smooth registration at the Katpadi SRO. Below is a practical checklist commonly required for property registration in Tamil Nadu.

• Sale deed / title documents (drafted as per applicable format and ready for execution)
• ID proofs of buyer and seller: Aadhaar and PAN (carry originals and copies)
