Compare your quote with the SPA. Keep the registration trail.
Your quote, signed sale and purchase agreement and registration output answer different questions. Use six checks to record differences, then understand the developer’s initial-registration route.
Off-plan buyers comparing an offer with an SPA and its annexes. Not a complete guide to every Dubai property sale.
No upload · no storage · no account. No contract approval or registration check.
Six checks. One neutral follow-up note.
Open your quote, SPA and annexes side by side. These are our practical comparison prompts, not DLD-prescribed contract terms. Select what you actually read, not what you expect to be true. A difference creates a question; it does not decide which document prevails.
Use non-personal references only, such as “SPA clause 4; quote page 2”. Do not enter names, actual unit numbers, IDs, signatures, bank details or contract text. Entries disappear when this page is reloaded; copy a note only if you want to keep it yourself.
DLD describes the developer’s provisional sale registration through Oqood. A submission reference is an application record, not the issued certificate.
DLD names a provisional registration e-certificate, with output emailed to the purchaser. Keep it for the same unit; it is not final title or proof of completion.
DLD’s individual-purchaser list names a copy of the sale and purchase contract, a copy of a valid UAE ID, and a copy of a valid passport for non-residents. The service terms require the SPA to be signed by developer and purchaser. Confirm the applicable identification requirements with the official service; do not upload or type them here.
Check conditional requirements
The service separately addresses a minor purchaser: guardian signature plus a copy of the guardian’s passport or ID. It also lists a valid To Whom It May Concern letter from the Federal Authority for Identity and UAE citizenship for a decree holder. Companies and other circumstances need their own current document requirements; this is not an exhaustive corporate or special-case checklist.
Developer submits via Oqood
DLD describes this as a developer service for off-plan units or land whose value is not fully paid. The developer selects provisional sale registration in Oqood, selects the property, enters details, attaches documents, selects payment and sends the application online. This is not a buyer self-registration tool.
Keep the provisional registration output
DLD lists the issued document as a provisional registration e-certificate and the output as emailed to the purchaser. Keep that output for the same unit, separately from a submission reference. It is not final title or proof of project completion. This page does not check whether a real application or registration exists.
Published service terms, not your transaction
DLD’s service page, retrieved 2026-10-24, says the SPA shall be registered in the provisional register within 90 days from signing. This is an attributed service term, not our calculation of legal lateness or a complete statement of applicable law. Open the current service before acting.
Check the publisher’s live documents, service terms and applicant before using the route. DLD service facts below are separate from our six-card comparison method.
The six checks are our original record-keeping method. “Matches as read” records your observation only. It does not mean a term is accurate, enforceable or approved, or establish which document prevails. Ask a qualified adviser about meaning or legal consequences.
No legal-remedy or fee-total engine
This guide does not decide cancellation, default, payment withholding, grace periods, compensation or construction-percentage remedies. It does not certify a complete current legal code. DLD’s fee labels do not establish your agreement’s allocation; no buyer-total fee calculation is provided.
No personal documents here
No upload · no storage · no account. Use short, non-personal references such as “SPA clause 4; quote page 2”, not names, unit numbers, IDs, signatures, bank details or copied contract passages. The worksheet runs in this tab only. Nothing is submitted, saved into a Decision Room or verified with DLD.
Common questions
What does SPA mean here?
SPA means sale and purchase agreement. This page concerns comparing an off-plan quote with that agreement and its annexes, plus DLD’s initial-sale registration route. It does not cover every kind of Dubai sale or replace contract review.
Does a matching worksheet approve the SPA?
No. The entries are your observations. Matching documents can still contain unclear or unsuitable terms. A difference creates a question, not a ruling that one document overrides another.
Can the buyer submit through this page?
No. DLD describes initial-sale registration as a developer service through Oqood. This worksheet neither submits documents nor checks a registration.
Is a submission reference the registration certificate?
No. Keep the provisional registration e-certificate separately from application correspondence. Neither this worksheet nor a submission reference proves that certificate was issued.
