Land and property records in United Arab Emirates
Records come from the Dubai Land Department / emirate registries.
The UAE has no single federal land register — each emirate keeps its own. Dubai's Land Department (DLD) is the most developed; other emirates vary. Access is generally restricted to owners and authorised parties.
What you can obtain

| Ownership confirmation | On authorised request | AED 100+ | 2–4 weeks |
| Charge / mortgage status | Via DLD | On request | 2–4 weeks |
Access: Access in the UAE is not open — most records require the owner's authorisation or a power of attorney. Coverage outside Dubai and Abu Dhabi is being confirmed against the primary source before we quote.
