Exemption from paying the fee at the land registry office in the Ministry of Justice (land registry extract)
What can you receive?

The eligibility is granted to bereaved parents, widows and widowers, and to orphans under the age of 30 who were recognized before the age of 21.

An application for a recognition certificate for the purpose of the mortgage fee exemption must be submitted through your account.
What happens after you apply?
The recognition certificate will be issued by the department within 7 business days from the date of the application. The response regarding the exemption will be provided according to the procedures and timelines of the land registry office.
