Property Gift Registration (Gifting)

This service allows the transfer of a property as a gift — fully or partially — to a first-degree relative or a directly related company, without a commercial sale taking place. The property must not have any existing restrictions or prior gift registrations. The eligible relationship between the parties must be officially proven with attested documents.

Who is eligible

Parent and child
Spouses
Shareholder and their own company (single shareholder only)

What you need to bring

Title Deed, Oqood, or Pre-Title Deed
NOC from the developer (mandatory for off-plan properties)
Passport and Emirates ID for both parties (passport + entry stamp for non-residents)
Email and phone number for both parties
Birth Certificate or Marriage Certificate — attested by the UAE Embassy in the country of issuance and by UAE MOFA, with certified Arabic translation
Power of Attorney — all pages including the sticker (if applicable)
POA holder's passport, Emirates ID, phone number and email (if applicable)
If gifting involves a company: company registration documents required if the company is not yet registered with DLD
