The E-Passbook in Andhra Pradesh is an electronic land-record service associated with the Pattadar Passbook and relevant revenue records. It is intended to provide eligible landholders with access to digitally maintained land-related information through the state's Revenue service system.
Andhra Pradesh government service documents currently list E-Passbook Service under Revenue services. Government service documentation also separately identifies services for new E-Passbook, replacement of Pattadar Passbook, duplicate Pattadar Passbook and printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook.
The official AP GSWS user manual states that when the relevant record is already available, digitally signed and Aadhaar-seeded, the Printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook service can be used to obtain the Electronic Passbook. The same documentation lists ROR 1B, Adangal and Pattadar Passbook among the documents associated with that service.
This guide explains E-Passbook AP, Electronic Pattadar Passbook, E-Passbook application, E-Passbook replacement, duplicate Pattadar Passbook, E-Passbook status, Title Deed Cum Passbook, required documents, eligibility, official services, common problems and frequently asked questions.

What Is an E-Passbook in Andhra Pradesh?
An E-Passbook, or Electronic Passbook, is a digital form of the Pattadar Passbook-related land record service.
It is associated with land and revenue information maintained in the state's digital land-record system.
The Andhra Pradesh government currently lists E-Passbook Service as a Revenue service. Government service documentation also includes related services such as New Pattadhar Passbook (E-PASSBOOK-New), Pattadar Pass Book Replacement, and Duplicate Pattadar Passbook Service.
The exact information displayed or issued depends on the applicable record and service.
What Is a Pattadar Passbook?
A Pattadar Passbook is a land-related revenue document associated with the recorded pattadar/landholder.
The digital service ecosystem now includes electronic and printing-related services for Pattadar Passbooks.
It is important to distinguish between:
- E-Passbook service
- New Pattadar Passbook
- Replacement Pattadar Passbook
- Duplicate Pattadar Passbook
- Title Deed Cum Passbook
These are related services but are not necessarily identical.
E-Passbook AP – Who Can Use the Service?
Eligibility depends on the particular E-Passbook service and the applicant's land records.
The official AP government documentation indicates that the printing service can be used where the relevant record is already available, digitally signed and seeded with Aadhaar.
Therefore, before applying, users should ensure that their land records are properly available in the government system.
How to Apply for E-Passbook in AP?
The exact workflow can change depending on the current service configuration.
A general process is:
Step 1: Keep Your Land Details Ready
You may need information such as:
- District
- Mandal
- Village
- Survey Number
- Subdivision Number
- Khata Number
- Pattadar details
Step 2: Check Your Land Records
Verify relevant information in the available official land records.
Useful records may include:
- ROR 1B
- Adangal
- Existing Pattadar Passbook
- Mutation details
Step 3: Check Aadhaar Seeding
The official service documentation specifically refers to records being Aadhaar-seeded for the printing service.
Step 4: Use the Applicable Government Service
Use the official AP government service channel for E-Passbook or the relevant Pattadar Passbook service.
Step 5: Submit the Application
Provide the requested details and documents.
Step 6: Verification
The application may undergo the applicable Revenue verification process.
Step 7: Obtain the E-Passbook/Passbook Service
If approved and eligible, follow the official process for obtaining the applicable electronic or printed document.
Where to Apply for E-Passbook AP?
AP MeeSeva
The AP government service ecosystem lists E-Passbook Service under Revenue services.
Official Portal:
AP MeeSeva – Official Government Services
Users should check the currently available Revenue service and application procedure before submitting an application.
AP GSWS / Citizen Service System
The Andhra Pradesh GSWS/CSP documentation currently lists E-Passbook-related services and workflows.
The official user manual identifies:
- E-Passbook service
- Replacement of Pattadar Passbook
- Duplicate Pattadar Passbook
- Printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook
as separate services/workflows.
E-Passbook and Title Deed Cum Passbook
These terms are closely related but should not be used interchangeably without explaining the specific service.
The official AP CSP manual states that if the record is already available, digitally signed and Aadhaar-seeded, the Printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook service can be used for obtaining the Electronic Passbook.
This means the applicant should first determine which service is applicable to their situation.
E-Passbook and ROR 1B
ROR 1B and E-Passbook are different land-record documents/services.
ROR 1B is a Record of Rights-related revenue record, while E-Passbook relates to the electronic Pattadar Passbook/Title Deed Cum Passbook service.
They may contain related land information, but one should not automatically be considered a replacement for the other.
The AP government service documentation separately lists ROR 1B and E-Passbook-related services.
Related guide: ROR 1B AP
E-Passbook and Adangal
Adangal is another important revenue record.
It can contain land and cultivation-related information, while the E-Passbook is part of the Pattadar Passbook-related service.
The official AP service documentation lists Computerized Adangal, ROR 1B and E-Passbook as separate Revenue services.
Therefore:
Adangal ≠ ROR 1B ≠ E-Passbook
Each record has its own purpose.
E-Passbook and Mutation
Mutation is important when a land record needs to be updated following an eligible transaction or change.
AP government service listings include Mutation and Mutation and E-Passbook services.
This means mutation and E-Passbook can be connected in certain cases, but they should not be treated as the same process.
For example, after a qualifying ownership-related transaction, the applicable mutation process may need to be completed before the corresponding passbook-related record can be updated.

E-Passbook and Aadhaar Seeding
Aadhaar seeding is relevant to certain land-record services.
The official AP GSWS documentation specifically states that for the Printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook service, the record should be available, digitally signed and seeded with Aadhaar.
Therefore, if an applicant is unable to access or obtain the applicable passbook service, checking the Aadhaar-seeding status may be useful.
However, do not assume that Aadhaar seeding alone guarantees issuance of an E-Passbook.
E-Passbook Replacement AP
If a Pattadar Passbook needs replacement, the government service ecosystem provides a separate Pattadar Pass Book Replacement service.
The current AP government Revenue service list identifies:
Pattadar Pass Book Replacement Service (EPASSBOOK-Replacement).
This should be distinguished from a fresh/new E-Passbook application.
Duplicate Pattadar Passbook AP
Government service documentation also identifies a separate Duplicate Pattadar Passbook Service.
Therefore, if a passbook has been lost or a duplicate is required, users should check the applicable official service rather than applying under a different category.
The AP CSP user manual currently lists e Passbook service – duplicate pattadhar passbook as a separate service with its own workflow.
New E-Passbook AP
The Andhra Pradesh Revenue service list currently includes New Pattadhar Passbook (EPASSBOOK-New).
A new passbook service may be relevant where an eligible applicant needs issuance of a new Pattadar Passbook based on the applicable land records and government procedure.
The exact eligibility and document requirements should be checked through the current official service.
E-Passbook Status AP
If you have submitted an E-Passbook-related application, the availability of an online status facility depends on the specific application/service.
Keep your:
- Application number
- Service request number
- Receipt
- Transaction/reference number
If an online status option is available for the service, use the official government service portal.
If the application remains pending, contact the relevant service centre or Revenue authority with the acknowledgement.
E-Passbook Documents Required
Documents depend on the particular E-Passbook service.
The official AP CSP documentation for Printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook identifies:
- ROR 1B
- Adangal
- Pattadar Passbook
among the document checklist/information associated with that service. It also requires the underlying record to be available, digitally signed and Aadhaar-seeded.
Depending on the application, other information or documents may be requested.
Do not publish a fixed universal document list for every E-Passbook service, because New, Replacement, Duplicate and Printing services can have different requirements.
E-Passbook Service Processing Time
The current AP CSP manual lists:
- E-Passbook service – replacement of Pattadar Passbook: SLA 7
- E-Passbook service – duplicate Pattadar Passbook: SLA 7
- Printing of Title Deed Cum Passbook: SLA 7
The manual also lists a 30-day SLA for Mutation and Title Deed Cum Passbook.
These SLAs apply to the specific services described in the government manual and should not be generalized to every E-Passbook-related request.
Government service configurations can change, so users should verify the current SLA before applying.
What If E-Passbook Details Are Wrong?
If the information in your passbook appears incorrect:
Check the underlying records
Compare:
- ROR 1B
- Adangal
- Mutation
- Registered documents
- Existing Pattadar Passbook
Identify the exact discrepancy
For example:
- Name mismatch
- Survey number mismatch
- Extent mismatch
- Khata mismatch
- Subdivision mismatch
Contact the Revenue Authority
Depending on the issue, a correction or mutation-related service may be required.
Do not submit incorrect information merely to obtain a passbook.
What If My Name Is Not Updated in E-Passbook?
If your land transaction has already taken place but the old owner's name remains:
- Check the registered document.
- Check mutation status.
- Check ROR 1B.
- Check Adangal.
- Check whether the relevant records have been updated.
- Follow the applicable Revenue correction/mutation procedure.
An E-Passbook should not be expected to reflect a transaction that has not yet been properly processed in the underlying revenue records.
What If Aadhaar Is Not Seeded?
If Aadhaar is not seeded where it is required for the applicable service, check the official Pattadar Aadhaar/mobile seeding service.
The AP government service ecosystem currently lists Mobile Number & Pattadar Aadhaar Seeding and related services under Revenue.
Use the official process rather than submitting Aadhaar information to an unofficial website.
E-Passbook and Land Ownership
An E-Passbook can be an important land-record document, but it should not automatically be represented as the only or final proof of legal title.
For property transactions, ownership verification may require examination of:
- Registered sale deed
- Link documents
- ROR 1B
- Adangal
- Mutation
- E-Passbook
- Encumbrance-related records
- Survey records
- Court orders, where applicable
For high-value property transactions or disputes, obtain appropriate legal/title verification.
E-Passbook for Property Verification
An E-Passbook can be useful as part of a broader land-record verification process.
Before purchasing land, compare the passbook information with:
Survey Number
Check whether it matches the registered document.
Land Extent
Compare the extent with other records.
Pattadar Details
Check the recorded name.
ROR 1B
Cross-check Record of Rights information.
Adangal
Compare applicable revenue/cultivation information.
Mutation
Check whether recent ownership changes have been processed.
FMB
Where boundary or measurement issues exist, check relevant survey records.
