Conditions, time and validity
- The unit or villa must be registered (title deed issued).
- Processing time
- About 12 minutes; emailed the same day.
- Validity of the result
- The map shows the registered data on the day of issue; a new map is needed after any change. Some authorities (for example for a valuation) accept a municipality map only if issued within one year.
- Where it is applied for
- Dubai REST app, DLD website, Real Estate Services Trustee centres (and the Oqood developers' portal for developers).
Steps at the authority
- Client sends the title deed / property number and ID.
- Centre submits the map request and pays the fee.
- DLD reviews and generates the map.
- The electronic map is emailed.
Tips that save you a trip
- One map is issued per unit; extra parking or storage maps are separate drawings with their own fees.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- An off-plan unit still in the Oqood (initial) register may not have a final unit map yet.
Questions and answers
Can I get the map without the original title deed?
DLD title deeds are electronic; the property number and owner's ID or letter are usually enough.
