Background
The Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) is responsible for administering land registration and property-record systems through its provincial departments across Cambodia. The new property information database (CIS) consolidates provincial land-registration records into a single national dataset managed by MLMUPC.
Deployment of the CIS has reached 23 provinces and is scheduled to complete nationwide by the end of May 2026. MLMUPC listed system functions that include initial (first) registration, continued registration, and recording of state land within the CIS rollout plan.
Key Developments
- On 27 May 2026, Undersecretary Kith Chan Krisna, who heads the ministry’s digital working group, presided over the official launch and the transfer of land-registration data to the new CIS instance at the Battambang Provincial Department.
- The public announcement states that the CIS implementation currently covers 23 of Cambodia’s provinces and aims for full nationwide operation by the end of May 2026.
- MLMUPC presented the deployment as part of a broader effort to modernize land-record workflows and standardize registration formats across provincial offices.
Operational Implications
Centralizing provincial land records into a unified database changes the primary storage location for official registration data from individual provincial systems to a national repository under MLMUPC administration. The CIS rollout, as described by the ministry, encompasses processes for both new (first) registrations and ongoing updates to existing land records.
