The ADU (Attestation de Droit d'Usage Coutumier / Customary Right of Use Certificate) is the single, secure document that replaces the former Village Certificate as of January 1, 2025. Established by Decree No. 2021-784 and secured by the SIGFU (Decree No. 2021-862), it requires a triple signature (village chief, CVGFR president, developer) and a unique IDUFCI. The ADU is not a property title: it constitutes a provisional recognition opening the path to the ACD (Arrêté de Concession Définitive / Definitive Concession Decree) and then to a rural Land Title. Timeline ACD → Land Title: 6 to 12 months.

It is signed by the Minister of Construction (in Abidjan) or by the Prefect (outside Abidjan). The ACD becomes a Land Title after publication in the Land Register by the Land Conservation Office (DGI — Direction Générale des Impôts / General Tax Directorate). Actual timeframe: 6 to 12 months. Only the Land Title is unassailable and imprescriptible.
