What is a Government Allocation C of O?
A Government Allocation C of O is a legal document issued directly by the government, allocating a specific parcel of land to an individual or organization.

- Easy Transfer of Ownership – The document simplifies transactions and resale processes.
- Loan and Investment Eligibility – Banks and financial institutions recognize it as a valid document for property-backed loans.
