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

Only the licensed developer of an active project can submit a request to change the name of a real estate project application. The project must show recent construction progress with no technical warnings.

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 DLD. Once this period elapses and all documents are submitted, the DLD typically issues the new project approval certificate within three business days.

Can I submit an online application for a project named online?

The application can be submitted online via the 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 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 project via 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.

Why is an investor notification required before changing a project name?

The DLD requires that all investors be informed of the proposed change to ensure transparency and protect their contractual rights. The application cannot be submitted until the 15-day notice period has passed.

What Is a Project Name Change in Dubai

A project name change is an official procedure regulated by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) that allows a licensed real estate developer to legally update the registered name of an off-plan or completed development.

A project name may be changed due to rebranding, strategic repositioning, market alignment, or changes in developer ownership. Only the project’s registered developer may apply. The update becomes legally effective after DLD reviews the request, verifies compliance with applicable regulations, and issues the approval certificate.

Following approval, DLD updates the project name in its official registers and across core systems, including the Developer Portal, the Project Status platform, and property registration records. The developer may also need to update escrow account information.

All procedures are governed by DLD regulations for real estate project amendments, including requirements established under Law No. (8) of 2007 concerning escrow accounts and Law No. (13) of 2008 regulating the Interim Real Estate Register in Dubai.

When a Project Name Change Is Required

A developer may request to change the name of a real estate project in Dubai in the following cases:

When rebranding or repositioning the project.
When the development changes ownership or partnership structure.
When aligning the project with a new marketing strategy or master community branding.
When avoiding conflicts with existing project names or trademarks.
When updating the identity of a project before handover.

Submitting a project name change application ensures that all DLD records accurately reflect the new development identity and remain compliant with UAE real estate regulations.

Requirements for Project Name Change in Dubai

To rename a real estate development, the developer must meet the eligibility and compliance criteria set by the Dubai Land Department.

Developer and project requirements:

The project must be active in the DLD system
The project must have no warnings, violations, or suspensions
Recent technical reports must confirm visible construction progress

Documentation requirements:

An official request letter explaining the reason for renaming
A valid No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the master developer
Evidence of investor notification
A signed developer undertaking
Submission of final notice forms after the 15-day period

Meeting these conditions ensures the project renaming request is legally compliant and can be approved without delays.

Procedural Features of DLD Project Name Change

The project name change procedure is carried out entirely through the Dubai Land Department’s Real Estate Developers Portal. The DLD first verifies that the developer is licensed, the project is active, and all technical requirements are met. This includes checking recent construction progress reports and ensuring that the project has no violations, warnings, or suspensions.

The developer must also prepare all supporting documents, including the official request letter, NOC from the master developer, investor notification, and the undertaking confirming responsibility under the new project name.

After the documents are reviewed, the developer must observe a mandatory 15-day investor notice period before submitting the final forms. Once this period has passed, the complete application is submitted to the DLD for final evaluation.

If approved, the DLD updates the project name across its systems and issues an updated project approval certificate. The new name becomes legally valid as soon as the certificate is issued and reflected in the DLD project records.

Where to Apply for a Project Name Change in Dubai

Developers can submit a project name change application through the following official DLD channels:

Real Estate Developers Portal — for submitting forms, uploading documents, and tracking the review.
Authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres — such as EGSH, where consultants prepare the full application and manage all DLD interactions.
DLD main office — for specialised or escalated cases requiring internal review.

All submissions are processed through DLD’s secure digital system, and the updated project approval certificate is issued electronically.

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

Went there for ejari cancellation. Excellent place. Staff was so cooperative. Ms Maria and Ms Fatima assist me and it was a fast process.

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.

Natalia guided me through the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made task feel simple and stress-free. Highly recommend Natalia for her outstanding customer service and dedication!
