Why we are reorganising the Swedish land registry
Snall, mats
The Swedish Land Registration rests on long traditions of keeping records of information. The Courts have been the natural choice when it comes to store information from contracts and other related documents for the common man. The courts have been represented in large numbers and in many regions of Sweden. Now the situation is changed. The possibility to get in touch with authorities, get information and interact via the Internet and store important information in databases have led to a less need for manned offices in the countryside. It is now decided and planned for a transfer of the land registration business from the courts to the National Land Survey of Sweden (Lantmmteriet). The new organization of Land Registration will lead to improvements. The cooperation and coordination between the land registration business and the business of handling and disseminating information will lead to rational changes like better quality, more efficient ways of managing information and better suited support. One land registration organization, with one general management and one unified major process of land registration and an engaged staff will lead to a more effective land registration and better quality in favor for all the clients and the society in general.
