Yes, you can clear your outstanding payments at the Credit Control Department after which you can proceed to the Property Transfer Department for registering your property.


Do I need to turn up in person for the registration process?
Yes, or else you can authorize someone to come to register your property with a notarized Power Of Attorney.


A general power of attorney would do?
If the general POA specifies the purpose, it can be accepted or else you need a specified power of attorney where it mentions that it is for the purpose of registering the property at the Land Department.


There is no UAE embassy in the place where I live. How can I attest the power of attorney?
The POA should be attested by a government authority in your country and then it has to be attested by the UAE Embassy / Consulate in the same country and then the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dubai. Alternatively, you can get the POA attested by your Embassy / Consulate in the UAE and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dubai.
