  1. Start at an official directory

    Use the government land-record directory and follow its state link instead of a sponsored search advertisement.

  2. Compare the records

    Match names, area and identifiers across the deed, revenue entry, map and municipal record. Record each mismatch.

  3. Request the appropriate official copy

    Ask the relevant office what certified or digitally signed copy is accepted for the transaction you intend.

  4. Resolve discrepancies before the transaction

    Take discrepancies and the ownership chain to a local property lawyer.
