The Conservador de Bienes Raíces
Chilean title is inscribed at the land registrar (Conservador de Bienes Raíces) of the commune, in the Registro de Propiedad, and the inscription — fojas, number and year — is the reference that identifies it.
Those three elements together are the citation, and dropping any one makes the record unfindable. We reproduce all three exactly as written.
The certificate of liens, and the ten-year study
Chilean practice requires a certificate of mortgages and encumbrances (certificado de hipotecas y gravámenes) and a title study (estudio de títulos) tracing the chain back ten years, because the Chilean system is one of registered possession rather than guaranteed title.
The register is strong evidence but is not conclusive in the German sense, which is exactly why the ten-year study exists. A single deed answers less than a US reader assumes.
The tax assessment number (rol de avalúo), and co-ownership (copropiedad)
Property carries a rol number assigned by the Servicio de Impuestos Internos for tax, distinct from the registry citation, and an apartment is held under copropiedad inmobiliaria with a stated share.
The rol and the fojas citation are different identifiers for the same property, and a translation that conflates them creates a search failure. We keep them apart.
The RUT, and the electronic register
Parties are identified by RUT with a check digit that may be K, and many Conservadores now issue electronically with a verification code.
An electronic certificate is the current form rather than a lesser one, and we transcribe the code. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page with no word cap, 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.
Frequently asked questions
What is the fojas citation?
Page, number and year of the inscription at the Conservador. All three are needed to find the record.
Why is a ten-year title study required?
Chile registers possession rather than guaranteeing title, so the chain is examined.
What is the rol?
The tax authority's number for the property, separate from the registry citation.
My certificate is electronic.
The current form. We transcribe the verification code so the office can check it.
