It is the top of the documentary hierarchy: a sale and purchase agreement records what two parties agreed, but the title deed records what the state recognises. When the DLD registers a sale it issues an <strong>electronic title deed<\/strong> and an <strong>electronic map<\/strong>, and those are the documents that matter when you later sell, mortgage, or prove ownership.<\/p>\n        <p><strong>Oqood is not a title deed.<\/strong> Oqood is the DLD&#8217;s self-registration system, and it is where off-plan and other provisional contracts are recorded &mdash; the <em>provisional register<\/em>, as distinct from the main property register. If you have bought off-plan, what you hold in the period between signing and handover is an Oqood registration, not a deed. The DLD notes that the sale and purchase contract must be registered in the provisional register within 90 days of the date the contract is signed.<\/p>\n        <p>That distinction has practical consequences. An Oqood registration proves you have a registered interest in a unit that does not physically exist yet. A title deed proves you own a completed property. Both are real and both are registered, but they are not interchangeable, and anyone describing an Oqood certificate as a title deed is either confused or hoping you are. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/off-plan-properties-dubai-2026\/\">off-plan property in Dubai<\/a> covers what the provisional stage involves.<\/p>\n        <p>For most buyers the title deed arrives through <strong>Property Sale Registration<\/strong>, the DLD service that registers a sale between a seller and a buyer. The DLD lists that service as open to all residency statuses, and gives a service time of 25 minutes at a Real Estate Registration Trustees centre. Separately, the DLD operates a service specifically named &#8220;Issue Title Deed&#8221;, which updates an approved title deed document &mdash; that one is listed as available to Emirati citizens, so it is not the route by which an expatriate buyer first receives a deed.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"td-hbox\"><strong>TruHauz perspective:<\/strong> Verify the deed before money moves, not after. The DLD publishes a free online verification tool that returns a blockchain-validated certificate from nothing more than the title deed number, its year and the property type. It takes a minute and it is the cheapest due diligence available on a Dubai purchase. If you are buying, our <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/buying-property-in-dubai-as-a-foreigner\/\">foreign buyer guide<\/a> sets out the wider process; if you are selling, see <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/how-to-sell-property-in-dubai\/\">how to sell property in Dubai<\/a>. Buyers looking at a phased route into ownership should also read our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/rent-to-own-dubai\/\">rent to own in Dubai<\/a>, where the deed is issued at a different point in the process. On an off-plan purchase the interim entry comes first and converts to a deed on completion &mdash; see our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/oqood-registration-dubai\/\" style=\"color:#660033;font-weight:600;\">Oqood and the interim property register<\/a>. The deed also records <em>which<\/em> right you hold over the property &mdash; ownership without a time limit, or a term-limited interest &mdash; which our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/freehold-vs-leasehold-dubai\/\" style=\"color:#660033;font-weight:600;\">freehold vs leasehold in Dubai<\/a> explains in full.

It sits above the sale and purchase agreement in the documentary hierarchy: the agreement records what two parties agreed between themselves, while the title deed records what the state recognises. When the DLD registers a property sale it issues an electronic title deed together with an electronic map. Those are the documents you rely on when you later sell the property, mortgage it, or need to prove ownership.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"td-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"td-faq-q\" onclick=\"tdFaq(this)\">What is the difference between Oqood and a title deed in Dubai?<span class=\"td-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"td-faq-a\">Oqood is the Dubai Land Department&#8217;s self-registration system and it records provisional interests in the provisional register, principally for off-plan property. A title deed records ownership of a completed property in the main register. If you have bought off-plan, what you hold between signing and handover is an Oqood registration rather than a deed. Both are genuine registered records, but they are not interchangeable, and an Oqood certificate should never be presented as a title deed.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"td-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"td-faq-q\" onclick=\"tdFaq(this)\">How do I verify a title deed in Dubai?<span class=\"td-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"td-faq-a\">The Dubai Land Department provides an online Verify Title Deed service. You enter the title deed number, the title deed year and the property type, choosing between Land, Unit or Villa, and complete a CAPTCHA. The service offers two options: Validate Property, and Validate Owner and Property, the second of which adds an owner name field so you can confirm the deed matches the person selling. The result is returned as a certificate that the DLD describes as digitally validated by blockchain. No fee is listed for the verification.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"td-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"td-faq-q\" onclick=\"tdFaq(this)\">How much does a title deed cost in Dubai?<span class=\"td-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"td-faq-a\">The Dubai Land Department lists a title deed certificate issuance fee of AED 250. On a Property Sale Registration that sits alongside a registration fee of 2% of the sale value from the seller and 2% from the buyer, a map fee of AED 225 for a unified map with Dubai Municipality or AED 100 for land outside it, a knowledge fee of AED 10 and an innovation fee of AED 10 per drawing, and a service partner fee of AED 4,000 plus VAT on sales of AED 500,000 and above or AED 2,000 plus VAT below that. Fee schedules change, so confirm the current figures with the DLD before budgeting.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"td-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"td-faq-q\" onclick=\"tdFaq(this)\">What documents do I need to get a title deed in Dubai?<span class=\"td-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"td-faq-a\">For Property Sale Registration the Dubai Land Department lists the Emirates ID of both the seller and the buyer for identity verification, noting that no copies are taken, or a valid passport for non-resident foreigners. In freehold areas a no-objection e-certificate from the developer is also required, and the DLD indicates this is obtained through the Dubai REST app. The service is listed as open to all residency statuses, is carried out at a Real Estate Registration Trustees centre, and is given a service time of 25 minutes.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"td-faq-item\">\n        <div class=\"td-faq-q\" onclick=\"tdFaq(this)\">Can a non-resident get a title deed in Dubai?<span class=\"td-faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n        <div class=\"td-faq-a\">Yes. The Dubai Land Department lists its Property Sale Registration service as open to all residency statuses, and specifies a valid passport as the identification document for non-resident foreigners in place of an Emirates ID. Note that the DLD also runs a separate service named Issue Title Deed, which updates an approved title deed document and is listed as available to Emirati citizens &mdash; that is not the route by which an expatriate or non-resident buyer first receives a deed. The ordinary route for a buyer is registration of the sale itself.<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:1140px;margin:0 auto;padding:0 20px 44px;\"><div style=\"background:#fdf0f5;border-left:4px solid #660033;padding:16px 20px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-family:'Inter',sans-serif;font-size:.92rem;line-height:1.75;color:#333;\"><strong>Related reading:<\/strong> A title deed makes you a co-owner of the building&#8217;s common parts too &mdash; our <a href=\"https:\/\/truhauz.com\/owners-association-dubai\/\" style=\"color:#660033;font-weight:600;\">owners&#8217; association and Mollak guide<\/a> explains who runs and funds them.

A title deed records ownership of a completed property in the main register. If you have bought off-plan, what you hold between signing and handover is an Oqood registration rather than a deed.

The service offers two options: Validate Property, and Validate Owner and Property, the second of which adds an owner name field so you can confirm the deed matches the person selling.
