According to DLD regulations, only first-degree relatives – namely parents, children and spouses – are eligible to receive property as a gift.

After all required documents have been submitted and verified, the entire real estate gift process in Dubai typically takes about 20 minutes and is completed at EGSH during the same visit.

Can I gift property in Dubai to a non-resident family member?

Non-resident family members may receive a property gift if they are first-degree relatives and can provide the required legal documents (such as an attested birth or marriage certificate). The process and gift transfer deed in Dubai remain the same.

Legal Transfer of Real Estate as a Gift

Property gift registration is one of the official real estate services offered by the Dubai Land Department (DLD). It regulates the transfer of ownership without sale in accordance with Law No. (7) of 2006 Concerning Real Property Registration in the Emirate of Dubai. This law ensures that all changes in property ownership, including gifts, are legally recognised once registered with DLD.

This procedure allows a property owner to gift full or partial ownership of real estate, such as land, villas, or apartments, to first-degree relatives (parents, children, or spouse) or to a registered company, provided that the property is not restricted or granted land. The process formalises the transfer of ownership through a gift deed, ensuring complete legal validity and protection for both parties.

Procedure and Approvals for Legal Transfer of Property as a Gift

Before registering a property gift, the donor must request a property valuation at a Real Estate Trustee Centre or via DLD’s smart valuation system (for apartments and villas). This valuation determines the official DLD fees applicable to the gift transfer.

The application for gift registration must include proof of relationship (such as attested birth or marriage certificates) and, for properties in freehold areas, an electronic No Objection Certificate (e-NOC) from the developer via the Dubai REST App.

The DLD oversees the entire process, verifying ownership, relationship proof, and property eligibility before issuing a new Title Deed in the recipient’s name. The registration ensures that the gift transfer of property in Dubai complies with all DLD regulations and is legally enforceable.

Features of the Gift Property Transfer Process in Dubai

The gift registration procedure is performed at an authorised Real Estate Registration Trustee Centre, such as EGSH. Both the donor and the recipient (or their legal representatives) must attend with all the necessary documents.

Once approved, DLD will update the ownership records and issue the official documents confirming the transfer of ownership. These documents are the Dubai Electronic Title Deed, the Usufruct Title Deed (if applicable) and the Map Statement e-Certificate, which will be sent to your email address.

This process protects the rights of all parties involved and confirms the validity of the real estate gift under UAE law.

0.125% of the property valuation, with a minimum fee of AED 2,000

AED 100 – Map fee (for properties outside the Dubai Municipality)

AED 2,000 + VAT – for properties valued at below AED 2,000,000

All payments are processed via ePay, Dubai Pay, Noqodi Wallet, or Manager’s Cheque.

Where Property Gift Transfers Are Registered

Hello, My Name is Kelvin it was my first time to hear EGSH Emirates Govt from my sponsor. I was assisted By Mrs Maria Claudia Garcia the experience was amazing from the beginning to the End she has been supporting and guiding me through all the process. I am grateful to her and the entire team for the help. I trust and believe EGSH is a place to recommend to family members and friends.

A very hassle free experience from EGSH. Special mention of Ms.Zara who was most helpfull. Her quick response to queries and swift action are much appeciated.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

EGSH in art of living is the best Hub center for every thing that you want in dubai Specially Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI is the advisor and assistance and she is beside you in every step Thank you Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI and EGSH

I recently visited this institution had an exceptional experience! Ms. Maria Claudia took the time to understand my needs and preferences. I really appreciate her support and services.

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!

THE BEST!!! Zara you are as always star

This is probably the best government service hub in Dubai. You come in, asked to be seated, and the staff will come to you instead of standing on the reception and on queue. They will offer you tea and water are available at each table. Really embodies the Emirati hospitality and what seamstresses Dubai is known for.

Highly recommend Natalia for her outstanding customer service and dedication!
