Dubai REST: find the property task you need

Dubai REST is Dubai Land Department’s application for property services. Start with the task you need to complete: check a title deed, find a project’s status, review service charges or follow an application. These are different checks and can require different identifiers. Choose a task below to find the official route, the information to have ready and the record to keep. If you are preparing a sale, purchase or gift, use the result alongside the rest of your transaction documents. Conveyance can help coordinate the transfer file; access to DLD’s systems and their official decisions remain with the authorised users and organisations.

Use Dubai Land Department to find the official application and service information. Avoid lookalike download pages or unofficial requests for login credentials. Follow the current authentication process yourself; do not share account access through an ordinary message.

Choose your task

Five tasks, five official routes. Each card says what to have ready, where the official form is, what comes back, and what to do when nothing does.

Annotated example for tasks 1 and 4 — a fictional deed layout, labelled SAMPLE:

The transfer file may involve property information, a developer-related process, contract activity or another available DLD service. Confirm the required task and the authorised user who should perform it. Do not assume every transaction step is completed by opening the app. For a developer NOC, read the NOC preparation guide. For the sale agreement, see Form F. DLD also runs a fully digital sale route for qualifying sales — see Buying or selling through Dubai Now.

If a REST result raises a question about your transfer, Conveyance’s team can look at it with you, online or at our operational office at Aspect Tower, Business Bay.

Connect a verified result to transfer readiness

A verified result tells you what DLD’s record says today. It does not confirm the contract, the signatory’s authority, the lender’s position, the developer’s NOC or the service-charge balance, and it does not complete the sale. Carry the output into the file as a dated record next to the document it was checked against, and move to the next dependency: the NOC, the lender outputs, the payment schedule, the appointment. See the complete transfer process.

Record the service name, application reference, status and any requested information. Keep the official output when it is issued. A screenshot can help explain a question, but it should not replace the actual reference or downloadable record where one is provided.

“Submitted” means a request has been made. “Information required” identifies another action. An approved or issued output needs to be checked for the property, party and purpose concerned. Record the actual status shown rather than summarising all stages as “done in REST”.

Check that you are viewing the intended property and current record. Capture the exact issue and use the relevant official support or correction process. Do not alter an exported document to make it appear correct. Our record-verification guide explains how to separate a lookup problem from a conclusion about ownership.

An official digital service handles the task it is designed for. The wider file still needs the parties, agreement, documents, lender/developer dependencies, funds and applicable appointment preparation coordinated. Conveyance works within its agreed procedural scope and does not operate DLD’s systems.
