Yesterday, the Deeds and Commercial Registries Authority (DCRA) signed a contract for the construction of a building to house the Deeds and Commercial Registries Authority in Essequibo, Region 2.
Currently, the agency is housed at the Supreme Court Building, Suddie, Essequibo Coast.
JAICAM Constructions and Services Inc. was awarded the GUY $447, 862, 666 contract which will see the construction of a new 4 storied building next door to the Supreme Court building at Suddie.
In attendance at the signing were the Regional Chairman, Vima DaSilva; Regional Vice Chairman, Humace Oudit; Regional Executive Officer Sussane Saywack and other officials.
In 2001, the government took the decision to expand the services provided by these agencies to Region 2, therefore making it easier for citizens to access information regarding ownership of their lands; process the transfer of properties held under transport, register powers of attorney, deed poll’s and other miscellaneous deeds; mortgage their properties and register their businesses.
Over the years, it was recognized that due to the growing number of transactions and the need to expand commercial services there was need for a permanent location with adequate space.
