The Place of Registration of Documents

This document discusses the place of registration for different types of documents relating to land and property in Pakistan. It states that documents affecting immovable property must generally be registered in the office of the sub-registrar within whose jurisdiction the property is located. However, other documents can be registered either where they were executed or where all parties wish to register. The registrar may also accept documents for registration from outside their normal jurisdiction if there is sufficient cause. Registration and deposit of documents is usually done at the registration office but the officer may attend a residence on special request.

claiming under the document desire the same to be registered.

Registrar under the Provincial Government at which all the persons claiming under
the decree or order desire the copy to be registered.
