Securitised title deeds to strengthen property ownership protection introduced

Zimbabwe is introducing a new generation of securitised title deeds containing multiple layers of security intended to make property records harder to forge, alter or counterfeit.

The initiative is being implemented through the Department of Deeds, Companies and Intellectual Property’s Digital Land Administration Platform (DLAP).

The new documents use security technologies similar to those found on banknotes, passports and other high-security government documents.
