The colors of the Garuda emblem on land deeds that everyone should know.

First of all, have you ever noticed why some land title deeds have different colors and designs? Many people may already know this, but today, Pacharakrit Property Co., Ltd. will explain what each one means and how they differ, so you can avoid mistakes when conducting legal transactions, whether it’s a mortgage or a sale with right of redemption.

The colors on the Garuda emblem are divided into four: red, black, green, and blue. Each color has its own significance and function, as follows:

• Red Garuda emblem – Land title deed (NS.4)

Used on land title deeds, the Nor Sor 4 document is the clearest proof of ownership. It can be legally bought, sold, and transferred. This is the type of deed that most people know and possess. Almost all land deeds in the city have a “red Garuda” emblem. Deeds with a red back are Nor Sor 4 documents that specify a prohibition on transfer within a period of 5-10 years.

• Black Garuda – NS.3 document.

A land utilization certificate, or one with a black Garuda emblem, is a government-issued document without a precise land survey. Buying and selling these certificates carries risks. “Land Utilization Certificates” of the Nor Sor 3 and Nor Sor 3 Kh types—simply put, these two do not have aerial photographs and are not land title deeds. They serve as a certificate of ownership, but if you wish to sell, you must wait for a 30-day government announcement.

• Green Garuda – Land Title Deed (NS.3 G)

This document will only be used on Certificates of Utilization of Land Type Nor Sor 3 Kor. Nor Sor 3 Kor is issued using aerial photographic mapping and is not a land title deed. It serves as a certification from an official stating that the land has been utilized. Therefore, because it is not a land title deed, it cannot be bought, sold, or mortgaged. It is not possible to apply for conversion to a land title deed. Remember, the green Garuda seal indicates Nor Sor 3 Kor.

• Blue Garuda – Land Reform Act document.

This type of land is “non-buyable,” I repeat, non-saleable. Many people are deceived into buying this type of land, which is actually unsaleable. It’s land issued by the government for agricultural use only, by the “Agricultural Land Reform Office.” However, a 99-year lease agreement can be made, and it can be inherited by heirs. But I don’t recommend buying land with this colored Garuda emblem.

Therefore, each color of the Garuda emblem on a land title deed has a different meaning, both in terms of usage and ownership. Before buying, selling, mortgaging, or conducting any transaction, it is always advisable to carefully check the documents and the color of the Garuda emblem to ensure peace of mind and accuracy, thus preventing future problems.
