# DARI

> DARI is Abu Dhabi's official digital property platform, through which sales are registered, title deeds issued and documents and brokers verified.

Also known as: Dari platform, Dari app, dari.ae.

## What DARI means for a buyer

DARI is the website and app that [ADREC](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/adrec) operates as Abu Dhabi's digital property registry. The name means "my home" in Arabic. Where Dubai's buyers use [Dubai REST](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/dubai-rest), Abu Dhabi's use DARI, and most transactions in the emirate now run through it from start to finish.

What it does for a buyer:

- **Transactions.** Sale and purchase contracts, off-plan registrations and mortgages are processed on the platform, with the parties approving steps digitally, and the [title deed](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/title-deed) is issued electronically.
- **Verification.** You can check an ownership certificate by its number and issue date, confirm a tenancy record, and confirm that a broker or developer is licensed.
- **Project register.** Off-plan projects can be searched by name or number, showing the developer, registration date, units sold, completion percentage and [escrow account](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/escrow-account) information.
- **Listings.** It sits alongside [Madhmoun](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/madhmoun), ADREC's permit system that every property advert must pass through.

Residents log in with UAE PASS. An overseas buyer without one normally acts through the developer's sales process or through a representative holding a [power of attorney](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/power-of-attorney).

A point to keep in mind: the verification tools confirm that a document is valid. They do not hand out an owner's documents to anyone who asks, so a seller or their agent must still produce the certificate for you to check. Verify the project and the broker on DARI before paying a [reservation fee](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/glossary/reservation-fee) in Abu Dhabi.
