Numbering of certain areas... does not affect ownership

The Municipal Council’s decision to “number certain residential and investment areas in three governorates” will not bring any changes on the ground regarding addresses or established property ownership.

During its main session held on Monday, chaired by Council Deputy Speaker Khaled Mufleh Al-Mutairi, the Council approved the numbering of investment and residential plots in Fintas, Hawalli, Jaleeb Al-Shuyoukh, and Riqqi. Al-Mutairi assured Al-Rai newspaper that the new organizational and spatial updates will not affect citizens’ rights in any way. He emphasized that “this measure is already implemented in the civil ID system, and its objective is solely to unify and align official data among government entities, meaning there will be no changes on the ground that impact addresses or established property ownership.”

Al-Mutairi reassured all plot owners and citizens that “the electronic linking process and the preservation of the historical archive for each plot ensure the highest levels of legal and transactional security. The Public Authority for Civil Information, in coordination with the Municipality’s executive body, has already adopted these divisions in its current system, and the Council’s step serves to confirm this stability and link it electronically to simplify future transactions and prevent any data overlap.”
