What Is the Project Name Change in Dubai?

Legal Renaming of Real Estate Projects via DLD

A re-name of a real estate project is a legal procedure that allows approved developers to update the name of an off-plan or completed real estate development. This process is typically required for branding alignment, ownership changes, or strategic repositioning of the project in the market.

To carry out the renaming, the project must be free of current violations, have no active suspensions or warnings, and have recent technical reports confirming construction progress.

EGSH, as an authorised government services centre, provides end-to-end support with the application. We prepare and submit all required forms via the DLD Real Estate Developers Portal, track the review process, and ensure the updated project approval certificate is issued in full legal compliance.

What is the official process for changing the name of a real estate project in Dubai?

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) regulates the process of renaming a real estate project. It involves submitting an official application with supporting documents, including a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the master developer and a formal notice to investors. Once verified, the DLD updates the project name in the system and issues a new approval certificate. EGSH manages the entire procedure, ensuring legal compliance and timely processing.

Who can apply for a project name change through the Dubai Land Department?

Only the licenced developer of an active project can submit a change to the name of a real estate project application. The project must show recent construction progress with no technical warnings. EGSH provides end-to-end developer support in Dubai, preparing and submitting the complete application package on behalf of the developer.

What documents are required for a real estate project renaming application in Dubai?

The required documents include: — An official letter stating the reason for the name change — A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the master developer — A copy of the investor notice — A signed undertaking to assume obligations — A final notice form submitted 15 days after the investor notification EGSH verifies and prepares all documents in line with Dubai Land Department services.

How long does a DLD project name change approval take?

The complete process of a DLD project name change takes approximately 18 days. This includes a mandatory 15-day waiting period after notifying investors by the Dubai Land Department. Once this period elapses and all documents are submitted, the DLD typically issues the new project approval certificate within three business days. EGSH manages the whole process on your behalf, ensuring compliance and timely completion.

What are the conditions for a development project name update in the UAE?

For a new development project, the following conditions must be met: — The project must have an active status in the DLD system. — Recent technical reports must confirm visible construction progress. — No official warnings must be recorded against the project. — A minimum of 15 days must have passed since notifying investors. — The master developer must issue a valid No Objection Certificate (NOC). EGSH ensures full real estate compliance in Dubai and prepares all submissions in line with official project amendment rules.

Can I submit an online application to change a project name?

The application can be submitted online via the Dubai Land Department (DLD) website. However, the process requires strict compliance with legal documentation and timelines. EGSH manages the entire submission process on your behalf, ensuring accurate updates of project data in Dubai in accordance with official procedures.

Why is a No Objection Certificate (NOC) required to change a real estate project name in Dubai?

The NOC from the master developer confirms that the proposed new project name is acceptable and does not conflict with the parent development’s identity. It is a mandatory requirement for project amendment requests.

How can I find the Dubai Land Department after renaming it?

After renaming, the updated project status in Dubai Land Department systems can be verified via the DLD’s official portals. EGSH provides post-submission support, including updated registration confirmation and access to the amended project record in the DLD database.
