Abstract: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Land Title and Records Office (LTRO) maintains title documents for land that the United States holds in trust or restricted status for individual Indians or Tribes (Indian land), much like counties and other localities maintain title documents for fee land within their jurisdictions. Individuals or entities that are requesting information regarding title documents – either for property they own or for property they seek to lease or encumber – must provide certain information to the LTRO in order for LTRO to accurately identify the property for which they are seeking information.
