ABSTRACT: Bangladesh is a small country but it has a lot of land related problems. Digitization of land documents will not only lessen hassles of the service seekers, but will also bring down many land-related social problems. The digitalization process of land records is undoubtedly a critical undertaking for the government, and it has to be done with due diligence. An effective and digitized land system across the country would greatly benefit citizens by eliminating the need to visit land offices unless absolutely necessary. The paper aims to highlight the current scenario of the management of land documents in Bangladesh and the need for digitalization to address the challenges faced in managing land documents. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges and prospects of digitalization of land documents in Bangladesh. Along with exploring the benefits and challenges of digitalizing land documents, it will also recommend ways to ensure the successful implementation of the digitalization process in Bangladesh.
