Granted Land Ownership Registration in Dubai – Official DLD Process

Only UAE citizens and authorised government entities are eligible for Dubai Land Department grant registration. The land must be granted by His Highness the Ruler of Dubai or his representative and supported by an official grant map issued by Dubai Municipality. EGSH assists applicants in verifying eligibility and submitting the complete application in compliance with DLD procedures.

Grant land registration is mandatory to obtain a title deed for the land grant in Dubai. The land must be officially registered with the DLD based on a valid grant map issued by Dubai Municipality. Without completing the registration, ownership is not legally recognised, and no title deed can be issued. EGSH facilitates the complete grant land registration process, ensuring compliance with all DLD requirements.

A Dubai Municipality grant map is valid for two years from the date of issuance. The grant land registration must be completed within this period; otherwise, the map becomes invalid, and a new approval may be required. EGSH verifies the validity of your Dubai Municipality grant map before proceeding with the application.

The UAE citizens registering for granted land must provide the following documents: — A valid grant map issued by Dubai Municipality (not older than two years) — A valid Emirates ID — For companies: trade licence and Memorandum of Association — For government entities: an official letter confirming the grant EGSH prepares and organises all required documents before submission directly to the DLD to ensure fast and accurate processing.

No, the grant land registration service is not available online via the Dubai REST app. Registration of granted land must be completed in person at an authorised centre, such as EGSH, or directly at the Dubai Land Department’s main branch. EGSH processes the application on-site and submits it directly through the official DLD system.

The granted land is subject to the specific conditions set out in the UAE’s land allocation royal decree. The use of such land is typically restricted to personal residential purposes unless stated otherwise in the decree. Commercial use, sale, or lease may be prohibited without prior approval from the competent authority. EGSH assists applicants in clarifying the applicable restrictions before registration.

The DLD plot locator can be used to view the exact location and boundaries of granted land. The tool helps applicants verify plot details and ensure the grant map matches official records before registration. EGSH assists clients in confirming all spatial data as part of the application process.
