What are folio real numbers and Catastrals?
Each property registered in the Public Registry of Properties has a unique property identification number or Folio Real number. The first group of numbers indicates the province, the second group of six numbers is the number of the property itself, and the last group indicates how many owners the property has. All properties must have this number for clear title to be obtained. Each registered property also has a survey plan, or Catastro. To transfer, mortgage, or acquire property, the survey plan must be recorded at the Public Registry of Properties.
