Disruptive technologies are currently taking the world at a storm. In all aspects of life, people are trying to cope up with the effects of these technologies while in other circumstances, focusing on research and development of enhanced ways to efficiency at work and daily activities. Land registry system is a very important element in the society, especially in regards to social and economic developments of an area. With the current traditional land registry system used in most countries, there are many issues that need to be sorted for increased efficiency. The issues may range from corruption and fraud, time-consuming registration and transfer of properties, inefficient systems in place, backlogs in deeds and contracts, and tampering of records amongst others. The objective of this paper is to analyze the issues present in the conventional land registry and explore the potentials of streamlining them using blockchain concepts. With the concepts of blockchain technology, a secure and more reliable framework is promised in the land registry system. Literature review and analysis has been extensively used to bring out the concepts in this paper. The issues in the traditional land registry are also analyzed, including the different classification of land registry systems among different governments. The blockchain concepts and the potentials of implementations are finally explained succinctly, with their advantages and disadvantages. The author concludes that there are massive advantages when compared to the disadvantages in the adoption of blockchain technology in the land registries.
