The DMISSA — Directorate for Modernization, Simplification and Securing of Deeds — is a directorate of the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Urban Planning (MCLU). It oversees digital transformation initiatives in Ivory Coast's land sector.
According to BÂTIR Magazine N°008 (January-March 2024), DMISSA is notably responsible for:
DMISSA works in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Service and Modernization (MFPMA), which oversees the cross-cutting digital transformation of Ivorian public administration.
For a land sector professional (notary, surveyor, developer, investor), DMISSA is the reference contact for questions concerning dematerialization, electronic authentication of deeds, and modernization of administrative processes.
When an ACD (Arrêté de Concession Définitive / Definitive Concession Decree) deed signed via the SIGNE platform is transmitted to the notary in Amenan, the electronic signature can be verified on the platform operated by DMISSA — proof of the deed's authenticity and integrity.

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) — the ACD published in the Land Register IS the Land Title. Official deadline: 180 days (BÂTIR No. 004); in practice, 6 to 12 months between ACD signature and its publication in the Land Register. Published ACD = published Land Title — same legal deed, two stages.
