Registers of Scotland

Overview

Registers of Scotland (RoS) is a non-ministerial department of the Scottish Government that manages 21 public registers related to land, property, and legal documents. Established over 400 years ago, RoS is recognized as the world's oldest land registry. The organization employs more than 1,200 staff across its offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, led by the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland.

RoS offers various services focused on property registration and legal documentation. This includes the Land Register of Scotland, which protects the legal rights of property owners and tenants, and the General Register of Sasines, which is transitioning to the Land Register. The Scotland Land Information Service (ScotLIS) provides access to land and property data, while the Digital Submissions Service allows solicitors to submit documents online. RoS has modernized its operations by digitizing processes, improving efficiency, and enhancing the quality of applications through services like pre-registration reports and property ownership verification.
