In a major step toward digital modernization and asset protection, El Salvador’s National Registry Center (CNR) has launched a new security system designed to combat real estate fraud. This free service, named Aviso Registral, allows Salvadoran and foreign landowners to receive immediate email notifications whenever any transaction or document movement is initiated regarding their registered properties.
The tool aims to provide a rapid response mechanism against the recent rise in property scams and illegal usurpations across the country. According to CNR President Camilo Trigueros, the system changes how property security is managed by offering direct oversight to the owners. “We have new services like registry security, which is the mechanism through which any Salvadoran or foreigner who owns a property can link their email online so that they receive notifications if someone presents something related to their property,” Trigueros stated.
To ensure comprehensive legal protection and swift law enforcement, the digital platform operates in close coordination with the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) and the Ministry of Security. This alliance allows authorities to immediately investigate any suspicious or unauthorized activity flagged by property owners, significantly reducing the window of opportunity for fraudsters.
Accessing the service is completely digital and streamlined for international users, including the extensive Salvadoran diaspora living in the United States. Landowners can sign up on the official CNR website by creating an account using a digital ID. The only requirements to activate these instant alerts are the property’s registry number (número de matrícula), a valid identification document (DUI), and an active email address.
