register of title (U.K)/registry of deeds (U.S.)/register of deeds (U.S.)


Explanation:
You'll find many ways this is described in English-speaking legal systems. The reference links show the official version from the U.K. and one from the multi-jurisdictional U.S.

Example sentence(s):
  • The main statutory function of Land Registry is to keep a register of title to freehold and leasehold land throughout England and Wales.
  • Massachusetts is divided into 21 registry districts with an elected Register of Deeds responsible for each office. Documents related to the ownership of real estate within the district are recorded at the Registry of Deeds.

agree  Charles Ek: Thanbks, brigid, for the answer and the link. I had viewed "land register" as the informal term. It's interesting and useful to know that it bears the semi-official imprimatur here.
