How to Track a DLD Real Estate Transaction in Dubai
Track a Dubai real estate registration or disposition request using DLD’s official enquiry instead of relying only on an agent update.
The short answer
To track a DLD transaction in Dubai, use the official real estate services enquiry for a request submitted through a developer or registration channel. This checks the service request, not the construction progress of an entire project.
What to do
1. Find the transaction reference
Use the reference shown on the DLD, Dubai REST, trustee-office or developer submission record.
2. Open the official enquiry
Enter the requested transaction details on DLD’s website or use Dubai REST where the service directs you.
3. Interpret the status precisely
Submitted, under review, returned for correction and completed require different action. Read any note attached to the current stage.
4. Escalate with evidence
If the status is stalled or inconsistent, contact the submitting party or DLD with the reference, property details and dated receipts.
Important: A developer’s internal booking number may not be the DLD transaction number required by the enquiry.
