Tamil Nadu CM Vijay launches ‘Presence-less Registration’ of housing plots, apartments

On August 17, 2026, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay inaugurated a mandatory 'Presence-less Registration' system for the initial registration of housing plots and apartments in multi-story residential complexes, reported the State government. This initiative builds upon the previously established 'anywhere registration' feature, which enables individuals to register their properties and associated documents without the need to physically visit the registrar's office.

According to the government press release, the new 'Presence-less Registration' system aims to streamline the property registration process, making it more convenient and accessible for residents. The registration terms and conditions stipulate that all submissions must be made in English, using complete sentences. Any comments left in this regard must adhere to the community guidelines, prohibiting abusive or personal language.
