Affidavit of Urban Characterization

Montevideo, December 16, 2016. 

The National Cadastre Directorate presented the 100% online Urban Characterization Affidavits and their integration with the Electronic Headquarters.

This project, developed by Sofis Solutions within the framework of Agesic’s e-funds, aims to automate the process of urban characterization affidavits submitted and managed before the agency, incorporating a new means for carrying out this procedure.

Both technically and functionally, this system offers multiple benefits and simplifications in the process, as well as the incorporation of advanced electronic signature and online payment of professional fees:

Improving one of the essential instruments for maintaining the cadastral registry regarding constructions.

  • Complete the entire procedure online.
  • Optimize times, unify criteria, and reduce costs.
  • Improve service quality and facilitate the procedure.
  • Access more types of Urban Characterization Affidavits via this method (resubdivisions, horizontal property urbanizations).
  • Perform more automatic checks to avoid errors and speed up the agency’s process.
  • Allow interaction between the professional and the agency during the validation process without needing to attend offices in person.
  • Pay fees online through multiple methods (banks, payment networks).
  • Use advanced electronic signature on affidavits.
  • Access affidavits in process and approved anytime and anywhere via the internet.

The National Cadastre Directorate’s mission is to design, create, maintain, and manage the cadastre of real estate properties, considering their geometric, physical, economic, and legal characteristics, aimed at multi-purpose use and serving as a tool for economic and social planning of the national territory.

The e-Funds are a mechanism for technical and financial assistance to develop solutions for agencies in the area of Electronic Government. Their objective is to promote initiatives that support and contribute to improving services provided to citizens.
