Oqood is connected to off-plan registration
Dubai Land Department uses the Oqood system in development and off-plan processes. For an owner file, the important point is to preserve the registration evidence that actually relates to the unit and purchaser.
Do not substitute a screenshot for the underlying record
Keep the original certificate, official extract or verifiable registration evidence where available, together with the exact unit and purchaser details.
Read registration beside the SPA and payments
Registration evidence answers a different question from the sale contract or proof of payment. A useful owner file keeps all three categories and reconciles inconsistencies instead of assuming they are interchangeable.
