  • How do I track the status of my order?

      • All orders via local RD transactions and A2A can be tracked using the LRA Online Tracking System (LOTS). Requestors will need to input (a) the location of the Registry of Deeds where the CTC of Title transaction was made, (b) the type of Electronic Primary Entry Book (EPEB) requested, and (c) the EPEB Number provided after the request was made. Please visit the LRA Online Tracking System at https://lots.lra.gov.ph/TransactionStatus/.
