Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our products, services, and policies.

How can I check the status of my submitted request?
The system sends periodic SMS notifications to the applicant, updating them on the request status, processing details, or any modifications—if applicable. The request status can also be checked via the "Appointments Service" screen on the Balady platform. Users can access previously submitted electronic appointment requests by logging into Balady, selecting "Balady Services", navigating to "Electronic Appointment Booking", and clicking "Start Service". Once the request is submitted, the relevant municipality or secretariat staff reviews it, contacts the applicant by phone to verify the status, resolve any issues, or confirm attendance for the scheduled appointment. Request details cannot be modified after submission, but the appointment can be canceled through the "Appointments Service" screen on Balady, by selecting "Cancel Appointment" in the confirmation link sent via SMS, or by informing the department’s staff during the pre-appointment phone call.

How can a location be shared via the platform?
When selecting the desired location, a green (Share) icon will appear on the right
side of the menu. Click on the icon and choose the appropriate sharing option.

Can the entity receiving a request for approval extend the coordination and approval deadline?
In certain cases determined by the Coordination Office, a request may require
additional time for review. The platform allows adjustments to the request settings,
enabling some entities to extend the coordination and approval deadline.Additionally, the service entity can modify its response from acceptance to rejection
or vice versa, as long as the request has not reached a final acceptance or rejection
status and is still within the coordination and approval period.

How can I request follow-up on a transaction?
You can request follow-up on a transaction if the transaction status is either "Request Accepted and Transaction Created" or "Transaction Completed", provided that 20 days have passed since the transaction was processed. You can track the status of your requests through the "My Requests" screen, where you can search using the transaction number, request date, or request status.

What is the difference between major projects and unscheduled projects?
The difference is that unscheduled projects follow these specific procedures:
● Emergency project coordination requests can be submitted at any time during the calendar year.
● Project right-of-way maintenance is required.
● The Mayor’s approval is required based on the municipality’s settings.

Is the Mayor’s approval required to issue a certified report for an unscheduled project coordination request?
Yes, the Mayor’s approval is required to issue a certified coordination report for an unscheduled project, based on the municipality’s settings. This approval is granted after obtaining consent from the relevant authorities and the Projects Coordination Office at the Municipality.

Is my old cadastral decision still valid, or do I need to issue a new one?
The cadastral decision is valid for three years. If the validity period has expired, you
will need to apply for a new cadastral decision for the intended purpose.

What should be done if there is a discrepancy between the land area in the title deed and the actual land area when requesting a cadastral decision?
