The immovable property register, and its rebuild
Albanian title is recorded at the State Cadastre Agency, and the operative document is a certifikatë pronësie with the cadastral zone, parcel number and volume and page.
The register was built from scratch after 1991 and first registration is still incomplete in places, so a property may have a certificate, a first-registration file, or neither. We name which.
Restitution and compensation, which shape every title
Communist Albania abolished private land. The post-1991 laws both distributed agricultural land to the families working it and recognised former owners' restitution claims, and those two entitlements collide on the same ground.
A title may therefore be contested by a former owner holding a decision of the property claims agency. That history is recorded and we translate it rather than summarising the current holder.
Informal construction, and legalisation
Albania has an enormous stock of buildings constructed without permits in the 1990s and 2000s, legalised in waves under the ALUIZNI and later Cadastre programmes.
A legalisation permit is what converts such a building into a registrable property, and it is part of the title file. We translate it with the certificate.
The identifiers, and the definite article
Parties are identified by a ten-character civil status number mixing digits and a letter.
Albanian nouns take a definite ending, so a place appears as Vlorë and Vlora. Same place. See our Albanian page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
