Indexing and Addressing Guidelines

In the public registers maintained by Registers of Scotland (RoS), such as the Land Register, there is a lot of very useful data relating to people and places. Ensuring that this data is captured, stored and used in a consistent manner is vitally important:

• it means that the accuracy of searches made in the Land Register can be maintained
• it is necessary for all of our customers who rely on the quality of the data provided by the Keeper
• it provides a level of consistency in the data to enable more efficient future database analysis of our records
• it is important for the RoS business development team who provide reports for business purposes.

Therefore, it is important that the indexing and addressing guidelines contained in this section are adhered to.
