    Can the Land Department register land for someone in possession but without papers?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The DLD has the authority to consider applications for registration from persons who are in possession of land that is not currently registered in their names. This process is managed according to procedures set by the Chairman to ensure that such land eventually meets all registration requirements. By allowing possessors to apply for formal title, the government aims to bring all occupied land into the official Real Property Register, enhancing the transparency and completeness of the Emirate's property database.
