Official registers for UAE#

DLD Project Status Enquiry (Dubai)

What it proves
The project is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the completion percentage and project details held by the regulator.
What it does not prove
That the unit you were offered belongs to this project, or that the percentage matches the site today: it moves only when a new inspection or consultant report is filed.
How to search
On the DLD website or the Dubai REST app, open Project Status Enquiry and search by project name or project number.

Open the official register (opens in a new tab) dubailand.gov.ae

From our register guide.

Project escrow account (Dubai)

What it proves
Dubai law (Law No. 8 of 2007) requires every off-plan project to have its own escrow account at an approved bank. The account in your contract should be the one registered for the project.
What it does not prove
How much money is in the account, or that a payment made to a broker or a personal account ever reached it.
How to search
Compare the escrow account and bank named in your contract with the project record in DLD services or Dubai REST, and pay only into that account.

Open the official register (opens in a new tab) dubailand.gov.ae

From our register guide.

Oqood (off-plan sale registration) (Dubai)

What it proves
Your off-plan purchase is recorded in the interim real estate register in your name.
What it does not prove
That the project will be finished on time, or that the developer has no disputes.
How to search
Ask the developer for the Oqood certificate after you sign and check it through DLD services or the Dubai REST app.

From our register guide.

ADREC (Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre) (Abu Dhabi)

What it proves
ADREC is the regulator: developers and off-plan projects must be registered with it, and Abu Dhabi law (Law No. 3 of 2015) requires off-plan payments to go into a project escrow account.
What it does not prove
Build quality, or that the brochure you were given describes the registered project.
How to search
Confirm the developer and project are registered, and get the project escrow account from the official record, not from a sales message.

Open the official register (opens in a new tab) adrec.gov.ae

From our register guide.

DARI (Abu Dhabi)

What it proves
The official digital platform of ADREC: title deeds, registered transactions and licensed developers and brokers can be verified there.
What it does not prove
Construction progress on site, or the financial health of the developer.
How to search
Sign in to DARI and use its verification services with the title deed, contract or licence number; search developers and brokers by name.

Open the official register (opens in a new tab) www.dari.ae

From our register guide.

RAK RERA list of projects and status (Ras Al Khaimah)

What it proves
Whether an off-plan project is registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Administration under Law No. 12 of 2023, and whether it is listed as under construction or completed. The page also publishes notices naming projects that are not registered.
What it does not prove
That every phase or building of a large scheme is covered, or that the list is current to the day: it is a dated PDF.
How to search
Open the RERA page on the RAK Municipality site, download "List of Projects and Status" and search it for the project and developer names (parts are in Arabic).

Open the official register (opens in a new tab) mun.rak.ae

From our register guide.

RAK RERA developer and escrow account lists (Ras Al Khaimah)

What it proves
The developer is registered with RERA, and which off-plan projects have opened an escrow (guarantee) account with a RERA-registered bank.
What it does not prove
The balance of the account, or that your payment instructions point to it.
How to search
On the same page, download the list of developers and the list of escrow accounts and look for the developer and project by name.
