Registration Trustee Offices

A Trustee Office in Dubai is an authorized service center approved by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) for real estate transactions. These offices act on behalf of the Dubai Land Department and use the same official system to complete registrations. At a Trustee Office, several important property services can be carried out, such as property ownership transfer, mortgage registration, mortgage release, property gifting, and title deed issuance.

Depending on the type of transaction, the registration process may differ. For most mortgage transactions, the bank will schedule the Trustee appointment. However, in certain transactions such as handover, the developer will work on the title registration from their end.

The documents required at the appointment will also vary depending on the transaction. However, identification documents such as passport, and Emirates ID are always required to be carried for verification purposes.

Currently, there are multiple Trustee Offices across Dubai operating under the Dubai Land Department to facilitate these transactions. Trustee offices operate within specific working hours, and appointments are scheduled in advance for a particular date and time. Hence it is always best to attend the appointment at the scheduled time, and if for any reason this is not possible, it is advisable to inform as the appointment can be rescheduled accordingly.
