Developers register off-plan sales in the DLD interim register through the Oqood portal.
What Oqood is
The Dubai Land Department's 'register the initial sale' service lets a developer record units sold off-plan, or plots not yet fully paid, in the provisional register via the Oqood portal.
Documents
For individuals, the DLD lists the sale and purchase contract, a valid UAE ID, and a passport copy for non-residents.
Our advice
Ask for confirmation of Oqood registration after signing. It is your official record of interest until title is issued on completion.
