First registration means a property is registered for the first time with the property itself, and its precise location, as the basis of the record. Each registered unit receives a property number and a title registration deed with its location, owner, description, rights and obligations. Owners can check whether their property is in an announced area and apply on the Real Estate Registry platform (rer.sa), its app or at service centres. They need a valid national ID or iqama, an updated electronic deed from the Ministry of Justice, and a valid power of attorney if an agent applies. First registration is free. Under Article 35 of the Real Estate Registration Law, failing to file a first registration application within the set period is punishable by a fine of up to SR100,000.
