Abu Dhabi land registration service launched for citizens to buy plots near relatives in Al Ain’s Ramah
ADREC launches Abu Dhabi land registration service enabling citizens to apply online for plots near relatives in Al Ain’s Ramah via TAMM with clear allocation.
The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) has launched a new Abu Dhabi land registration service that allows eligible citizens to register requests to purchase plots close to relatives’ homes. The digital service, introduced in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, opens its first operational route in the Ramah area of Al Ain and is designed to strengthen family ties and residential stability. The service uses the TAMM government portal and integrates UAE PASS authentication to deliver a fully digital application journey from submission to registration.
Initial rollout in Ramah, Al Ain
The first live implementation of the new Abu Dhabi land registration service is taking place in Ramah, a residential district of Al Ain. ADREC officials said the pilot aims to test processes and user experience before wider deployment across other outskirts and community areas in the emirate. The Ramah rollout gives qualifying citizens the opportunity to apply for parcels located near the homes of close relatives, in line with the scheme’s family-centred objectives.
How to submit an application through TAMM
Applications must be submitted through the TAMM platform using UAE PASS for secure digital identity verification. Applicants select an available plot from a provided list, complete a property declaration and upload any supporting documentation required to prove eligibility. The platform guides users through a summary review and a mandatory acceptance of terms before final electronic submission.
Eligibility criteria and proof of family connection
The service requires applicants to meet ADREC’s eligibility conditions and to demonstrate a family link when claiming proximity to a relative’s residence in the same area. Documentation requirements include ownership declarations and evidence showing the relative’s residence in the requested locality. ADREC will review submitted materials to confirm that applicants satisfy the residency and relationship conditions prior to allocation.
Allocation mechanism and competitive bidding rules
When multiple eligible applications target the same plot, ADREC will apply an approved bidding mechanism to ensure transparent and equitable allocation. The auction-style process is designed to handle cases of competing qualified applicants while preserving clear procedural fairness. ADREC described the mechanism as part of its effort to streamline allocation and maintain efficiency in transactions from application through final ownership registration.
Administrative review, approvals and notifications
After submission, ADREC begins an administrative review to verify compliance with all service requirements and to progress the request toward allocation and purchase. Applicants will be informed electronically if their submission fails to meet the conditions or if additional documentation is required. Successful reviews lead to the next stages of assignment and ownership registration, with status updates provided through the same TAMM channel.
The new Abu Dhabi land registration service forms part of ADREC’s ongoing programme to modernise the emirate’s real estate framework and accelerate digital transactions. By providing a single, end-to-end online path, the initiative aims to reduce paperwork and shorten processing times while safeguarding transparency in plot allocation. ADREC and the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority said the measure supports wider social objectives, including the government’s 2026 family cohesion priorities.
Citizens interested in applying for plots near relatives in Ramah can access the TAMM portal to begin their application, check eligibility guidance and follow the prescribed digital steps. The authorities have indicated that the initial launch will inform further rollouts and refinements across Abu Dhabi’s outlying communities.
