Can You Download a Title Deed Through Dubai REST?
Yes. Dubai REST is Dubai Land Department's official real estate application. If an electronic title deed has been issued and linked to the owner's record, it can be opened from the property wallet and saved as a PDF.
The app cannot display a final deed that has not been issued or a property that is not linked correctly to the authenticated owner.
What Do You Need Before Downloading the Title Deed?
Prepare the following before opening the app:
- The latest version of the Dubai REST app on an Apple or Android device
- An active UAE Pass account connected to your current identity details
- Access to the mobile number used for authentication
- Enough device storage to save the PDF
- Title deed information if using the login route available to a foreign investor
How to Download a Title Deed from the Dubai REST App
The names and positions of menu buttons may change slightly when the application is updated, but the process follows the same route from your account to the registered property.
Step 1: Install or Update Dubai REST
Download the official Dubai REST application published by DLD from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Step 2: Sign In to the App
Open Dubai REST and select the available login method. Most owners can use UAE Pass. A foreign investor may also see the title-deed login route and be asked for property information. The user must use the account linked to the registered owner — another profile may not display the property.
Step 3: Open Your Property Wallet
Open the property wallet or owned-properties section. It should display properties associated with the authenticated owner's DLD record.
Step 4: Select the Correct Property
Select the property and check the project, building, and unit information, particularly if you own several units in the same development.
Step 5: Open the Title Deed
Open the title deed certificate, ownership certificate, or document option within the property details. The PDF may open inside Dubai REST or in a separate viewer.
Step 6: Download or Share the PDF
Use the download, save, or share control in the document viewer. On an iPhone, save it to Files; on Android, select Downloads or another secure folder.
Step 7: Check the Saved Document
Open the PDF and confirm that every page is readable and the file is not a blank preview or screenshot.
What Should You Check on the Downloaded Title Deed?
Compare the document with your property records. Check:
- Owner's name and ownership share
- Title deed number and issue date
- Project, building, unit and floor information
- Property type and registered area
- Parking spaces or other allocated facilities, where recorded
- Any mortgage, restriction or other registered entry
If information appears incorrect, contact DLD before using the deed. Editing the PDF does not change the official record.

Why Is the Property Not Showing in Dubai REST?
The property may be missing for several reasons. Complete these checks first.
Check the Login Account
Confirm that the login details belong to the registered owner. Joint, company, or representative ownership may require a different authorised profile.
Confirm That Registration Is Complete
A recently transferred property may not appear until registration is updated. Ask the registration trustee or developer whether the final deed has been issued.
Check Whether the Property Is Still Off-Plan
An off-plan unit may have an Oqood provisional certificate instead of a final deed.
Update the Application and Sign In Again
Update and reopen Dubai REST, then sign in again. Check whether the PDF opened in another viewer or was already saved to the device.
Contact DLD Support
If a registered property still does not appear, contact DLD with the deed details and proof of identity. Explain the exact login, visibility, or download problem.
What If the Title Deed Opens but Is Not Downloadable?
Check the storage and permission settings, then try the save or share option. Change to a secure connection if the document is not loading fully. If the problem continues, use DLD's online owner services or report the technical issue.
Is There a Fee to Download a Title Deed?
Saving an existing electronic deed is different from requesting a new or updated one. Issuance fees may apply if a new deed or property map is required.
How Can You Verify the Downloaded Title Deed?
After downloading the title deed, buyers can verify it through the Dubai Land Department's online services or the Dubai REST app. Enter the required title deed or property details and compare the information shown in DLD's records with the downloaded certificate. Check key details such as the owner's name, property information, title deed number, and issue date.
Verification helps confirm that the electronic title deed is valid and that the information on the document matches DLD's official records. For any sale, mortgage or other property transaction, use the latest verified electronic version of the title deed.
Conclusion
Downloading your title deed through Dubai REST gives property owners convenient access to the official electronic record of their ownership. Once downloaded, the document should be reviewed carefully to make sure the owner and property details are correct.
It is also advisable to verify the title deed through DLD's official services when needed, particularly before a sale, mortgage, or other property transaction.
