E-perpetual books – the assumption since April 2010

Theoretically, since April 2010, perpetual book which hitherto been a paper document will be available in electronic form throughout the country, regardless of the location of the real property. So far, to obtain insight in the perpetual book required a request for copy of the book and often, waiting for several weeks. From April 2010 a single mouse click is to enable the interested person access to the book, at least such was the establishment of the legislature, which at the date of planned completion of the implementation of the system. However, if the waiting time for the establishment of an electronic book in Warsaw is about 8 months, and some centers this time is even longer, the assumptions of the legislature cannot meet with the practice.

In practice, data from all land registers from Poland are placed on the Center of Court Registers and, unfortunately, also disclosed to each entry in the book is still traditional, and then rewritten into the computer system. This procedure greatly increases the waiting time for a new entry, and at the end, of the implementation of the e-books.

Unfortunately it is not known at this moment when the process of implementing the system will be completed and whether it will be actually since April this year that each of us will be able to view the perpetual book online.
