In the province of Alberta, Canada, a LINC number—which stands for Land Identification Numeric Code—is a unique ten-digit identification code assigned to every distinct parcel of real property or land title within the provincial automated land registry system. Introduced during the computerization of land records by the Alberta Land Titles automation project, the LINC number acts as a permanent, unambiguous reference marker that allows real estate professionals, lawyers, and citizens to track, verify, and search property boundaries, ownership histories, and associated legal interests. Unlike legal descriptions that can sometimes share similarities or undergo administrative shifts, a LINC number remains permanently tied to a specific parcel unless the underlying physical boundaries of the land are formally altered.
