The Modern Property Title Search: Navigating Ardhisasa in 2026

Beyond the Physical Paper

In 2026, the physical "Green Card" search has been almost entirely superseded by the Ardhisasa digital certificate. A title search is the most critical step in due diligence to ensure the person selling you land actually owns it and that there are no hidden caveats or bank charges.

How to Conduct a Search

• Step 1: Log into your Ardhisasa account using your e-Citizen credentials.
• Step 2: Enter the Parcel Number (e.g., Nairobi/Block-123/456).
• Step 3: Pay the search fee (currently Ksh 500) via M-Pesa.
• Step 4: Download the official Search Certificate.
