Sharjah’s Real Estate Registration Department has unveiled an upgraded version of its official website, signalling a significant milestone in its digital transformation agenda. The streamlined platform aims to improve delivery of services and create an intuitive, integrated online hub for a diverse user base across the emirate.
Designed with a contemporary, interactive interface, the site aligns with Sharjah Government’s directive to offer smart, high‑efficiency services. Investors, developers, homeowners’ associations, individuals, banks and government entities can now access tailored services with enhanced ease and speed.
Abdulaziz Ahmed Al‑Shamsi, Director‑General of the department, described the launch as a “new milestone” in its commitment to full digital transformation. He emphasised the platform’s ability to “meet the aspirations of various categories of clients … and reinforce Sharjah’s position as a leading real estate hub in the region”.
The updated website categorises services precisely by user type. Developers can now conduct project registration, validate initial sales contracts, track development progress and initiate homeowners’ association creation. Homeowners’ associations have access to administrative supervision company registration, board certificate issuance, maintenance‑fee approvals and online complaint submission. Government institutions can obtain property‑ownership reports, while individuals benefit from ownership documentation services such as title‑deed replacement, valuation, and ownership data updates. Lending institutions are catered for with enhanced mortgage‑related services, including registration, amendment, release and increase requests.
The launch coincides with a sustained expansion in Sharjah’s property market, where ease of access and transparency are seen as vital to maintaining investor confidence. With this digital rollout, Sharjah aims to reduce processing times, cut administrative hurdles and position itself as a competitive investment destination.
The revamped platform’s success depends on user uptake and its capacity to manage high volumes and complexity. A Gulf Today report quotes Salwa Al‑Mahri, director of IT, stating that the portal prioritises client satisfaction through 24/7 availability, user‑centric design and faster service delivery.
Industry observers note that the initiative aligns with wider UAE priorities around smart governance and sustainable economic development. Digital infrastructure upgrades in the public sector are increasingly regarded as critical to attracting foreign capital and fostering broader efficiency in government‑to‑citizen services.
The site’s intuitive dashboard and interactive features have drawn favourable early responses. Users report that procedures that once required office visits and paperwork can now be completed online within minutes. One developer commented that the project‑tracking module offered “real‑time updates on approvals, saving weeks of waiting” through the portal’s new interface.
Further enhancements are expected in the coming months, including additional support for third‑party integrations such as escrow services, further analytics tools for developers and associations, and perhaps multilingual support for international investors. For its part, Sharjah’s Real Estate Registration Department has affirmed its intention to continue evolving the platform in line with global best practice and stakeholder feedback.
