How registration works here
Registration in Andhra Pradesh is handled by the Registration & Stamps Department through its IGRS portal, where documents are prepared and appointments booked. You attend in person on the day with two witnesses and identity proof.
Since the 2022 district reorganisation, Andhra Pradesh has 26 districts, and some Sub-Registrar offices now sit in a different district from before. We check the current office for your address rather than relying on old lists.
Farmland and the Meebhoomi records
Agricultural land records in Andhra Pradesh are kept online on Meebhoomi. After a death, heirs apply to have the land entered in their names. A Will that names each survey number, the extent and the village exactly as Meebhoomi shows it saves months of back-and-forth at the tahsildar's office.
Property in Telangana, Tamil Nadu or Karnataka
AP families often own a flat in Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Chennai. A Will registered in Andhra Pradesh can deal with all of it. Our registration package does not cover Tamil Nadu, but that only affects where the Will is registered, not what it can cover.
How it works in Andhra Pradesh
In Andhra Pradesh, you sign the Will before two witnesses, book a slot on IGRS Andhra Pradesh at the Sub-Registrar office covering your home address, and attend together for identity checks, photographs and thumb impressions. The Will is recorded and handed back, usually the same day. We confirm the office and book the slot for you.
