Mortgage Release
Mortgage release is the official procedure for removing a registered mortgage from a property record after the financing entity confirms that the relevant obligations have been settled. RAALC Real Estate Registration Agent supports property owners, borrowers, banks, companies, and authorized representatives with document review, release-file preparation, requirement verification, payment coordination, and processing through the applicable Dubai Land Department procedures. The service may apply to different mortgage and property registration types.
Service Overview
Mortgage release formally removes a financing entity's registered mortgage interest from an eligible property in Dubai. The procedure generally follows full repayment, early settlement, or another approved termination of the financing arrangement. It may apply to standard mortgages, usufruct mortgages, provisional mortgages, provisional-registration mortgages, portfolio mortgages, and mortgages connected to UAE citizen housing institutions.
RAALC Real Estate Registration Agent supports the transaction by reviewing the release instruction or documentation issued by the financing entity, the existing mortgage record, ownership documents, identification records, and any corporate or authorization documents required for the parties involved.
Once the file is complete, the mortgage-release request is prepared and submitted through the applicable Dubai Land Department procedure. Following verification and payment, the mortgage entry is removed from the property record, and the relevant updated electronic title, registration, or transaction documents are issued. This procedure is distinct from selling a mortgaged property, which follows a separate registration process.

It is commonly required after full repayment or early settlement of the financing arrangement, or when the bank formally authorizes termination of the registered mortgage.
Common requirements may include release documentation from the financing entity, the existing mortgage and ownership records, identification documents, and a valid power of attorney or corporate authorization where applicable. Requirements vary by transaction.
The financing entity must issue the documentation or electronic instruction required for the Dubai Land Department mortgage-release procedure. A general settlement confirmation may not by itself complete the registered release.
The DLD service covers several mortgage types, including standard, usufruct, provisional, provisional-registration, and portfolio mortgages, as well as eligible mortgages connected to UAE citizen housing institutions.
No. Mortgage release removes the registered mortgage from the property record. Selling a mortgaged property is a separate procedure that coordinates settlement of the bank’s dues with the ownership transfer.
Following successful processing, the relevant updated electronic title deed, registration certificate, or other transaction output is issued according to the property and mortgage type.
