Property Ownership Deeds Can Now Be Accessed On UAE Pass in Sharjah

In a recent development aimed at improving customer services and focusing more on digital adaptation of the system, the Real Estate Registration Department (RERD) in Sharjah has announced the provision of the service of ownership and usufruct deeds of various types in the digital wallet of the UAE Digital Identity (UAE Pass) app, making it the first government department in the emirate to provide this service.

The Department’s customers can now access ownership and private benefit deeds (ownership deed, joint ownership deed, usufruct deed, or joint usufruct deed) through the digital ID smart application on mobile phones.

In this context, Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, established that: “The Department is keen to provide an easy and smooth experience for customers while they use our services. We want them to complete their transactions efficiently, quickly, and effectively, which supports the strategic directions of the Department by providing all the services in accordance with the best global practices”.

Al-Shamsi added, “This pioneering step comes within the directives of Sharjah’s Executive Council for digital transformation, and in line with the objectives of “We the UAE 2031” vision, which aims to translate the future visions of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, UAE President, may God protect him, into a tangible reality. All institutions operating in the country are working on it, leading to the UAE Centennial 2071”.

UAE PASS

In a first, the “UAE Pass” was introduced as a national digital identity for all citizens and residents of the Emirates, allowing its users to access the services of local and federal government agencies, in an easy and secure manner, without the need to visit government service centers.

Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, expressed his views stating, “An initiative like this, stems from the keenness of Sharjah Government and our Department to continue the sustainable development, which is not limited to economic development only, it rather extends to effective contribution to achieving social development, and improving the standard of living, in order to achieve development in its broad sense”.
