The Government of Dubai Land Department announced the launch of a new service – ‘Registration Trustees’ – that will allow for complete customer transactions outside official working hours through licensed legal offices.
Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of the Land Department, commented, “We strive through our integrated and advanced platforms to make transactions easier for our customers; being able to complete property deals outside of working hours and at different locations will not only save time and effort for all parties involved, but also serves to relieve congestion at customer service centres. This new service joins a number of initiatives aimed at elevating the high standards currently followed by the LD.” Bin Mejren explained, “The launch of the new electronic service is part of a comprehensive developmental plan that follows in the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, that calls for facilitating interaction and transaction with government services through providing government services online.” ‘Registration Trustees’ will initially handle sales, mortgages and leasing by accepting customer applications and sending them to the LD for processing and printing. These will then be returned the next day by office or courier. All transactions will be carried out under the terms and conditions of the LD to ensure the legitimacy of each transaction.
