-When you have selected your property, the website will indicate which Property Registry corresponds to it.
-Next, follow the steps below to fill out the form on the Passenger Registration website:
- First, we will click the download icon and select the option “Export data for NRA”

Indicating in the section “Registro de”, the registry of the corresponding Property, (the data about the Registry of each Property will be obtained through the previous steps in the Property Registry Geoportal).
