How to Register Real Estate in Dubai?

Registering real estate in Dubai is carried out by the Dubai Land Department. All real estate transactions, including ownership transfers, must be recorded through the DLD’s e-register system or at Real Estate Registration Trustee centres located across Dubai. This process is mandated for preserving the rights of all parties involved in real estate transactions.
