Guide based on official procedures
The standard certificate certifies a property's current cadastral data. The detailed certificate also includes immediate historical information held in Dirección Nacional de Catastro records.
| Aspect | Standard certificate | Detailed certificate |
|---|---|---|
| Content | Current cadastral data for the property. | Current data plus immediate historical information held by DNC. |
| Historical information | Not its main purpose. | May report the previous parcel number, original survey plan or other registered historical information. |
| Published fee | The official page states that it is free. | A fee applies; the amount displayed on the official page expired on 31/12/2025 and must be checked. |
| Where to apply | Official DNC procedure | Official DNC procedure |
If you only need to certify current cadastral data, ask whether the standard certificate is sufficient. If the procedure requires the parcel's formation history or original plan, ask whether a detailed certificate is needed. The valid requirement is set by whoever receives the document, not INGAR.
The standard certificate certifies current cadastral data. The detailed certificate adds immediate historical information held by DNC, such as the previous parcel number or original survey plan where available.
The official DNC page states that the standard certificate is free. Confirm the current conditions on the official portal before starting the procedure.
The official page shows an amount whose validity ended on December 31, 2025. INGAR does not present it as a current price: check the applicable amount with DNC when applying.
It depends on the authority, contract or professional requesting it. Confirm with whoever requires the document or with DNC; INGAR cannot decide without knowing the specific procedure.
