Message from the Minister
Welcome to the Ministry of Land and Legal Affairs’ official website.
The Ministry of Land and Legal Affairs plays a critical role in the administration and management of Trinidad and Tobago’s land resources and legal registration systems. Through our various divisions and agencies, we work to ensure that the systems governing land, property, business registration, and intellectual property are efficient, transparent, and accessible to the public.
Our mandate supports national development by providing essential services such as land registration, the valuation of property, the protection of intellectual property rights, the registration of companies and civil events (births, deaths and marriages), and the revision and publication of the Laws of Trinidad and Tobago. These functions are fundamental to creating a secure environment for citizens, businesses, and investors.
This website has been designed to make it easier for you to access information about the Ministry’s work, learn about the services provided by our divisions and agencies, and find the resources you need quickly and conveniently.
As Minister, I remain committed to strengthening the Ministry’s service delivery, embracing digital innovation, and ensuring that our systems continue to support sustainable development and national progress.
I invite you to explore the website and learn more about the work being done by the Ministry of Land and Legal Affairs. Thank you for visiting.
The Honourable Saddam Hosein, MP
