Alberta land title search and LINC checker.
A LINC is the 10-digit number printed at the top left of an Alberta land title. Check you copied it correctly, then search it on the official system.
Important, up front: Alberta publishes no check digit for a LINC, so this tool only confirms the 10-digit shape. Searching and ordering a title is done on the Alberta government systems, for a fee.

What the Government of Alberta says
To get a title search you need one of: a legal description, a LINC (Land Identification Numeric Code) or a title number. Title searches are available through SPIN2 or through a registry agent. From May 29, 2025 the province also lets you search and pay for titles by Plan/Block/Lot, title number, LINC or ATS legal description in the Alberta Registry for Land Online (ARLO).
Where a LINC appears
An Alberta Agriculture factsheet describes the LINC as a 10-digit number generated under the Land Titles Act, found at the top left of land titles certificates issued after 1988, and gives 0021221940 as an example. It can also be retrieved in SPIN2 from a legal land description.
LINC versus title number
They are different identifiers. This tool only checks LINCs; Alberta does not publish a title-number layout on the pages cited here.

Alberta does not publish one, so this page cannot verify it beyond length and digits.

Can I search without a LINC?
