A listing permit lets a property be advertised; it is not proof that the person owns it, and it is not a payment check. Verifying the title deed confirms genuine ownership before you rely on it or pay.
| Title deed verification | Listing permit | |
|---|---|---|
| What it proves | The deed is genuine and matches the register | The property may be marketed |
| Confirms the owner? | Yes | No |
| A payment check? | Part of it | No |
| Who issues | Reviewed against the DLD record | A brokerage listing permit (Trakheesi) |
| When to use | Before relying on a deed or paying | When a broker lists a property |
