The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has launched the first phase of its new “Digital Sale” service, marking a major step toward fully digital real estate transactions in the emirate.
The new service establishes benchmarks for the speed, reliability, and efficiency of property transactions, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a sustainable, knowledge-based digital economy.
The Digital Sale service enables customers to complete registration and sale procedures entirely online, using electronic signatures via the UAE Pass app.

Buyers and sellers can finalise transactions anytime, anywhere, 24/7, in line with the Government’s strategy to deliver services through unified digital channels.
The DLD said the service redefines how individuals buy, sell, and register properties, simplifying procedures, accelerating processes, and ensuring the highest standards of security, trust, and transparency.
The initiative strengthens Dubai’s global appeal for investors and supports a proactive, innovation-driven real estate ecosystem.
How the Digital Sale works
The new process offers a completely remote, end-to-end digital experience. It begins with the electronic creation of the sale contract, which the seller signs and sends to the buyer via the platform.
The buyer then transfers the payment to the service’s dedicated account, after which the ownership certificate is instantly issued in the buyer’s name through the application.
This system eliminates the need for in-person procedures while maintaining secure, verified transactions.
Both the buyer and seller must hold a valid Emirates ID and an active UAE Pass account to enable verified digital signatures.
Properties eligible for Digital Sale must be located within freehold areas, fall under residential or commercial classifications, be free of any mortgage, and owned by a single individual.
Real estate growth
DLD said the launch of Digital Sale comes amid the strong performance of Dubai’s real estate sector in recent years and is a key enabler of the emirate’s ongoing growth.
It aligns with Dubai’s goal of achieving 100 per cent digital real estate services and fostering an innovation-driven property market that attracts global investment.
Unveiled during GITEX Global 2025, the initiative underscores Dubai’s leadership in digital transformation and advances the objectives of both the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.
Alongside the new service, DLD showcased the Real Estate Instant Registration Platform at GITEX Global 2025 — an advanced interactive dashboard displaying real-time data on property transactions across Dubai’s districts to enhance transparency and trust in the market.
