The State Cadastre Agency is expected to transform into a fully digital institution by the end of next year.
Prime Minister Edi Rama, in a post on social networks, emphasizes that "Albania is setting a new record of the digital revolution with now 10 cadastral services automated through blockchain technology, while now online payments can also be made directly from bank cards through e-Albania".
Cadastre Agency Director General Lorena Goxhobelli, at a partnership roundtable organized to discuss the achievements, innovations and challenges of the Agency in this transformation phase, said that the work on digitalization is progressing at a perfect pace and that this process not only facilitates the daily work of this agency, but above all significantly increases the quality and security of cadastral information for every citizen.
"We are closer than ever to the digitalization of cadastral maps. Together with UNOPS, we have begun a time-consuming process for the full digitalization of 33,000 tablets. The end of 2026 will find us with a completely digital Cadastre," said Goxhobelli.
The Cadastre has recently increased the number of automatic services through blockchain technology to 10, and has finalized the payment directly through the "e-Albania" portal with a bank card, without the need to appear at the post office or at bank counters.
"The digitization of data and the use of blockchain technology have allowed us to automate some of our services. At the beginning of 2025, we had 5 automatic services, and today we have 10 such services offered to citizens. Currently, 10 to 15% of our daily services are automatically generated by the system," said Goxhobelli.
She also emphasized that the possibility of making payments via e-Albania with a bank card has also been finalized.
"A functionality that we have been working intensively on with the AKSHI in recent months and I am glad that we have finally finalized it, because now citizens will no longer need to stay at bank and post office counters in this case, and no longer at the ASK and can make the payment where they make the application with just one click," said Goxhobelli.
And yet, she said, digital transformation does not mean distancing from citizens. "On the contrary, it aims at simplification, accessibility, and shorter processing times for applications. Exploiting the advantages created by Artificial Intelligence remains another ambitious objective of the ASHK throughout 2026," Goxhobelli emphasized in her speech.
According to her, with the completion of the digitalization of cadastral data, all the prerequisites are created for exploiting the benefits brought by the use of Artificial Intelligence.
