Identify the actual title-request documents
Niger’s DGI 2025 code describes a simplified procedure for establishing a titre foncier. Its document categories include a registered cession instrument or registered customary-holding attestation from the competent authority, a location plan and identity evidence.
Use those categories to identify the packet actually supplied for the offer. Keep the attestation or instrument, plan, parties and property references together. A supporting document submitted for title establishment should not be described as the title already issued.
Connect the plan with the offered parcel
Ask the adviser to match the candidate land and advertised components to the location plan and supporting rights evidence. If the offer concerns a proposed portion of a larger property, identify the parent and proposed interest separately.
Preserve differences in area, location or party names for enquiry rather than changing the worksheet to make them agree. The code’s document list does not certify the accuracy of a particular plan or establish that the seller can dispose of every advertised component.
Keep the application and issued evidence apart
Ask which actual stage has been reached: preparation, submitted request, payment, issued title or later recorded dealing. Keep references and received documents separately labelled. A receipt helps track a request without necessarily supplying the result required for the proposed acquisition.
DGI’s 2022–2024 strategic plan describes cadastral and land-conservation responsibilities as institutional background. Neither that plan nor the 2025 code is presented as a complete current purchase checklist. Confirm present law, applicable offices, forms and charges directly; no old tariff or deadline is promised here.
Fictional document worksheet
This original exercise identifies no actual property or applicant and makes no legal finding.
A customary attestation appears in a title-application packet
A buyer receives an attestation and plan with a title-request reference. The adviser checks the actual issuing authority, registered supporting evidence, matching parcel and current application stage.
The worksheet keeps the attestation and request apart from an issued title. It leaves the offered interest, seller authority and any further registration enquiries to establish through the appropriate evidence.
Complete the property and applicant investigation
Arrange suitable boundary, access, occupation, condition and intended-use checks. Ask which applicant permissions, documentary history and outstanding matters affect commitment and contract conditions. A government code or institution plan does not inspect improvements or certify the actual transaction.
