The Digital Land Survey Plan Registry (OYSG DLSPR) is an initiative of the Oyo State
Government, through the Office of the Surveyor General, to preserve survey plan records
and make survey information easier to verify.
The service allows members of the public to search for a survey plan using the name written
on the plan or the survey plan number. It helps you confirm whether the details of your
survey plan have been captured and lodged in the official Office of the Surveyor General’s
digital registry.
What Can You Use This Service For?
You can use the public search service to check whether a survey plan has been lodged in the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry.
You may search using:
- The name written on the survey plan; or
- The survey plan number written on the survey plan.
Where a matching record is available, the system may display basic information that will help you compare the registry record with the survey plan document in your possession.
Depending on the information approved for search display, the result may include:
- Name on the survey plan
- Survey plan number
- Location of the land
- Local Government Area
- Surveyor’s name
- Surveyor’s registration number
- Date of the survey
- Land area
- Status of the record
- Other basic survey information
Only information approved for search viewing will be displayed. Sensitive information and internal Government records will remain protected.
How to Search for a Survey Plan
Before you start, please keep the survey plan document in front of you.
Step 1: Choose How You Want to Search
Select either:
- Search by Name; or
- Search by Survey Plan Number
Step 2: Enter the Information Exactly as It Appears on the Survey Plan
Type the name or survey plan number exactly as it is written on your survey plan document. Do not change the spelling, arrangement, spacing, letters, numbers, dashes or slashes.
For example, if the survey plan number is written as:
OY/IB/2024/0156
Enter it in the same way. Do not enter:
OYIB20240156
If the name on the survey plan is:
MR. ADEBAYO OLALEKAN
Search with that same name. Do not use a nickname, shortened name or a different arrangement of the names.
For the best result:
- Check the spelling carefully.
- Include all letters and numbers in the survey plan number.
- Include any slash, dash or other symbol shown on the plan.
- Do not search with a name that is different from the name written on the plan.
- Do not search with the name of the person currently occupying the land if that name is not on the survey plan.
- Avoid adding titles or words that are not written on the plan.
Step 3: Click the Search Button
After entering the information, click Search.
The system will check the Digital Land Survey Plan Registry for a matching record.
What If No Record Is Found?
If the system does not find a matching record, it does not automatically mean that the survey plan is fake.
A record may not appear for different reasons, including:
- The name was not entered exactly as written on the plan.
- The survey plan number was typed incorrectly.
- A letter, number, slash or dash was omitted.
- The record has not yet been digitised.
- The survey plan is still being reviewed or processed.
- The survey plan may not yet have been submitted to the Office of the Surveyor General.
- The available information may require further checking by the appropriate office.
Please check your entry and try again.
If you still cannot find the record, contact the Office of the Surveyor General through the official support channel provided on this website. You may be asked to provide a clear copy of the survey plan or visit the appropriate office for further verification.
Do not submit your original survey plan to an unknown person or unofficial agent.
What a Successful Search Result Means
A successful search means that the system has found a digital record that matches the information you entered.
It may confirm that:
- A survey plan with the stated number is available in the registry.
- The name displayed matches the name captured from the survey plan.
- Information about the survey has been recorded.
- The record has reached the status shown in the search result.
However, a successful search result does not by itself:
- Prove that the person presenting the plan is the current owner of the land.
- Replace a legal title search.
- Replace physical verification of the land.
- Replace the professional work of a registered surveyor.
- Automatically settle a land dispute.
- Guarantee that there is no government acquisition, restriction, court case or other interest affecting the land.
- Give permission to enter, occupy, sell or develop the land.
Where there is any doubt, please contact the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development office and seek professional advice.
For Registered Surveyors
The Digital Land Survey Plan Registry supports the proper lodging, preservation and verification of survey plans.
Surveyors should ensure that the information on submitted survey plans is clear, complete and consistent. Important details such as the plan number, client’s name, location, coordinates, beacon information, land area, survey date and surveyor’s registration details should be properly shown.
Clear and accurate survey information makes digitisation, mapping, review and future verification easier.
Search Before You Proceed
