What is 数字签名?
利用密码技术验证签署人身份并确保文件内容不被篡改的电子认证方式。在迪拜，DLD旗下的部分数字化服务（如Dubai REST）已支持使用UAE Pass进行经官方认可的电子签署流程。
Description
A digital signature is a cryptographically secured electronic mark that verifies the signer's identity and confirms the document has not been altered. Unlike a simple electronic signature (a typed name or image), digital signatures use public key infrastructure (PKI) to provide mathematical proof of authenticity.
Federal Decree-Law No. 46 of 2021 on Electronic Transactions and Trust Services establishes the legal framework for electronic and digital signatures in the UAE. Digital signatures are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures for most transactions. The DLD accepts digitally signed documents through its smart services platforms. However, some transactions, particularly title deed transfers, may still require physical presence.
How to interpret
Digital signatures are now accepted for most real estate administrative documents in Dubai, including tenancy contracts, management agreements, and certain SPA documents. Understanding their legal validity means you can participate in transactions remotely without sacrificing legal protection, which is particularly valuable for non-resident investors managing Dubai property from abroad.
Always verify that the platform facilitating a digital signature meets UAE law requirements for that document type. A digital signature on a document that requires a different form of execution under UAE law may not be legally binding, creating disputes later.

Real estate brokerages increasingly use platforms like DocuSign, Adobe Sign, and DLD-integrated solutions for SPAs, tenancy contracts, and management agreements. The COVID-19 pandemic measurably accelerated this shift.
