Issuing Ownership Statement- Name Change

In Oman, an Ownership Statement for a name change is issued when the legal owner of a property changes their name, typically due to marriage, divorce, or a legal name change. The property owner must submit a request to the Land Registry along with supporting documents, such as the original Ownership Statement, proof of the name change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order), and identification. After verifying the details, the Land Registry updates the property records and issues a new Ownership Statement reflecting the updated name.
