Document verification service

Buy back home without getting scammed

Living abroad and someone is offering you a plot or a house in the DRC? Before you pay, our team verifies the documents directly with the competent land offices — and visits the plot in person.

Full report in 7 to 10 business days

Fake titles, plots sold twice, fake sellers

Every year, members of the diaspora lose a lifetime of savings to fraudulent property purchases in the DRC. A document can be perfectly forged. A title can be real — but belong to someone other than the seller, or cover a different plot than the one you are shown. From abroad, you have no way to know.

The only reliable protection: verify at the source, before you pay.

How it works

1. Send your request

Fill in the form in 2 minutes. We contact you within 48 hours with a quote. You then send us copies of the documents by WhatsApp or email.

2. We verify on site

Our team physically visits the Land Titles Registry (Conservation des Titres Immobiliers), the cadastre, and the plot itself. No remote checks: we go and see.

3. You receive a written report

Within 7 to 10 business days: a signed PDF report with a clear verdict, photos, a video of the plot, and the detail of every check.

What we verify

A MonBien verification is more than a paper check: registry, cadastre, land, and neighborhood — everything is checked on site.

Land registry

Does the title exist? Does the holder's name match the seller presented to you? Are there any mortgages, disputes, or suspicious recent transfers?

Cadastre and boundaries

Do the plot number, dimensions, and boundaries match the cadastral plan — and the land you are shown? A real title on the wrong plot is a classic scam.

Neighborhood inquiry

We ask the local authorities in the area: is the plot known to be disputed? Fewer than 10% of plots in the DRC have a clear title — the land is checked on the ground too.

Site visit

Photos of the boundary markers, the access, the current occupancy, and the state of the area (road, water, electricity). Everything you cannot see from abroad.

Land and environment

Elevation and visible signs of erosion or flooding — valuable information before you build.

Price consistency

We compare the asking price with MonBien listings in the same commune. No one else in the DRC has this data.

Included: a short video of the plot filmed by our team, so you see the land with your own eyes, wherever you are.

Your options from abroad

Travel there yourself

Expensive and slow

  • Flight, lodging, transport: often more than $2,000
  • One to two weeks of leave
  • Without knowing the land-office procedures

Send 'someone'

Free, but risky

  • No written report, no proof
  • No accountability if they are wrong
  • Many scams go through a 'trusted' middleman

Have MonBien verify

A fraction of the cost of the trip

  • Written, signed, verifiable report
  • A professional team on site, in the property's city
  • A company with a public reputation to protect

A property purchase in the DRC is often tens of thousands of dollars. A verification is insurance that costs a fraction of that — and far less than a plane ticket.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a verification cost?

The price depends on the type of document and the location of the property. Send your request: you receive a precise quote within 48 hours, free and with no commitment. In every case, it is a fraction of the cost of a trip — for a purchase that often runs into tens of thousands of dollars.

Which documents can you verify?

The registration certificate (title deed), the sale contract, and the plot record (fiche parcellaire). For another document, describe it in the form: we will tell you whether we can verify it.

How long does a verification take?

Usually 7 to 10 business days after we receive the documents and you confirm the quote. Dealings with the land offices take time — which is exactly why this service exists.

Which cities do you cover?

Currently Kinshasa (all communes) and Lubumbashi. More cities will follow. If your property is elsewhere, send your request anyway: we will tell you whether we can help.

Is your report a legal guarantee?

No. Our report states what the registries and the land show on a given date: it is a factual verification, not legal advice or a notarial act. For a transaction, we also recommend a lawyer or a notary — the report will save them valuable time.

How do I send you the documents?

After your request, we contact you by WhatsApp or email. You simply send us readable photos or scans of the documents. No originals pass through us.
