Who is responsible for Ejari registration?

By law, the landlord or their authorised agent is responsible for registering Ejari. However, tenants may initiate registration in urgent cases — such as for utility activation, visa applications, or rental disputes — if the landlord fails to complete it.

How to register Ejari in Dubai?

Ejari registration can be completed through the Dubai REST app, the official Ejari portal, or in person at an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre such as EGSH. The process includes submitting the tenancy contract, ID documents, and payment of DLD fees to obtain the official Ejari Certificate.

What is an Ejari number?

An Ejari number is a unique reference number assigned to your registered tenancy contract by the DLD. This number is required for all official transactions related to the rental property, such as DEWA activation or visa applications.

How to find the Ejari number?

The Ejari number is on your e-contract registration certificate, in your Dubai REST app account, or can be checked by accessing your registered tenancy contract on the DLD website.

Where to register Ejari?

Ejari registration is processed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) through three official channels: the Dubai REST app, the Ejari online portal, or an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, such as EGSH.

How to apply for Ejari?

To apply for Ejari, prepare the required documents — tenancy contract, ID, and title deed copy — and submit them through the official DLD system or at a Trustee Centre.

How to get Ejari Certificate?

After successful registration, the Ejari Certificate is issued electronically with a unique contract number. It can be downloaded from the Dubai REST app or collected in print from EGSH immediately after registration.

How can I download the Ejari contract?

Once registration is complete, you can download the official e-contract registration certificate (Ejari certificate) from the Dubai REST app or the DLD website. If you register through EGSH, you will receive your print Ejari registration certificate immediately after successful registration during your visit.

How to check Ejari online?

You can check the status of your Ejari registration by logging into the Dubai REST app or the DLD website, selecting your tenancy contract, and viewing the application or contract status.

How to register Ejari as a tenant?

If the landlord does not complete registration, the tenant may submit the application directly via the Dubai REST app or at an authorised Trustee Centre. The tenant must provide the signed tenancy contract, Emirates ID or passport, and proof of property ownership from the landlord.

The Role of the Ejari Contract in Dubai’s Rental System

Ejari is the official tenancy registration system established by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) and administered under the authority of the Dubai Land Department (DLD). The Ejari system was introduced under Law No. 26 of 2007, Regulating the Relationship between Landlords and Tenants in the Emirate of Dubai and is implemented by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) under the supervision of the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

The law established Ejari as the official mechanism for recording tenancy agreements and maintaining a unified rental register for all types of lease contracts — residential, commercial, and industrial. Registration through Ejari grants legal recognition to tenancy contracts, safeguarding the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants. It also enables access to essential government and utility services, including DEWA activation, residence visa processing, and tenancy-related dispute resolution.

Legal Effect of Ejari Tenancy Registration

Every Ejari tenancy contract registered through this system serves as legal proof of the relationship between the landlord and the tenant. It ensures that the rights and obligations of both parties are clearly defined, transparent, and enforceable under Dubai real estate legislation. The registration of lease agreements in Ejari is therefore mandatory, and contracts that are not recorded in the system are not recognised by government authorities or courts in the emirate.

Following registration, the Ejari Certificate is issued with a unique contract number, confirming that the tenancy agreement has been duly recorded in DLD’s official system.

Under RERA regulations, the landlord or their authorised representative is legally responsible for completing the Ejari registration. However, the tenant may initiate registration when necessary, such as for utility activation or visa requirements, if the landlord fails to do so.

Ejari Registration Process in Dubai

The Ejari registration process is regulated by the DLD and RERA. Its purpose is to ensure that every tenancy contract in Dubai is legally recorded in the official government register, protecting the rights of landlords and tenants to guarantee transparency in all rental transactions.

The registration begins once the landlord and tenant sign a unified tenancy contract prepared in accordance with RERA’s approved format. This contract must accurately reflect the rental terms, property details, and obligations of the parties. The completed document is then submitted to DLD or an authorised Real Estate Trustee Centre for verification and official registration.

Upon approval, the data is entered into the DLD’s central tenancy register, creating a legally recognised record of the lease.

Channels for Ejari Registration in Dubai

The DLD provides multiple official channels to complete tenancy contract registration:

Ejari online registration, available via the Dubai REST app and DLD’s official portal, enables users to upload documents, pay fees electronically, and receive the certificate digitally.
Real Estate Trustee Centres, such as EGSH, manage all steps — document verification, application submission, fee payment, and issuance — on-site by authorised consultants in a single visit.
Registered property management companies, approved by DLD to handle Ejari submissions on behalf of property owners and landlords.

To use Ejari registration online, the applicant must hold a valid UAE Pass to access the Dubai REST app or DLD’s e-services portal. This digital identity enables secure login, document upload, and electronic payment directly through the government system.

Online registration is suitable for residents who already have an active UAE Pass and verified digital documents. Non-residents or individuals without UAE Pass credentials should complete their registration in person at authorised Real Estate Trustee Centres, such as EGSH.

Issuance of the Ejari Certificate

Once the application is approved and all government fees are settled, DLD issues the official Ejari Certificate. This document confirms that the lease has been duly recorded in the DLD database and includes a unique Ejari number that serves as an official reference for all related government procedures.

The certificate must be presented for essential services such as DEWA connection, visa applications, and rental dispute resolution.

Common Scenarios Requiring Tenancy Contract Registration and Update in Dubai

Under Dubai tenancy laws, all lease agreements must be registered, renewed or updated whenever the terms of the tenancy change.

The most common scenarios requiring new registration or amendment of the tenancy contract certificate in Dubai include:

New tenancy contracts — when a new lease agreement is signed between a landlord and a tenant.
Renewal of an existing tenancy — at the end of the contract term, the agreement must be renewed in the Ejari system to maintain legal continuity and avoid penalties.
Modification of contract terms — including changes in rent amount, lease duration, or property details.
Transfer of tenancy rights — when a property is sold, ownership changes, or a new tenant takes over with the landlord’s approval.
Contract termination or cancellation — when the lease is ended before its expiry, the Ejari record must be closed to release the property for future registration.

Failure to update Ejari records for tenancy contracts in these situations may result in legal or administrative issues, including delays in service renewals or difficulties in resolving disputes.

Ejari Fees in Dubai

The DLD sets the Ejari fees and applies them uniformly across all channels of registration. The standard fees include AED 100 for tenancy contract registration, AED 10 as a Knowledge Fee, and AED 10 as an Innovation Fee. When registration is completed through authorised Real Estate Trustee Centres, an additional service partner fee of AED 95 plus VAT applies.

All payments can be made via debit or credit card, Noqodi wallet, or in cash at Trustee Centres. Fees must be settled at the time of application submission, and the official Ejari Certificate is issued only after successful payment confirmation.

Print Ejari

If you require a printed copy of your Ejari registration certificate, you can log in to the Dubai REST app or the DLD e-services portal and download the document from your account dashboard. You can also print an Ejari Certificate at the EGSH immediately after registration.

Verify Ejari

To verify the Ejari’s authenticity, visit the official DLD website or use the verification feature in the Dubai REST app. Enter your Ejari number or tenancy contract number to check the document’s validity and current registration status in DLD’s database. Verification ensures that your tenancy record is legally recognised and active.

Check Ejari Status

To perform an Ejari check, log in to the Dubai REST app using your UAE Pass and select the “Services” → “Ejari Contracts” section. The system displays your tenancy details, contract status (active, expired, or cancelled), and certificate number. This function is useful for monitoring the validity of your tenancy registration before renewal.

Renew Ejari

When renewing your tenancy agreement, you must also renew your Ejari Certificate to reflect the updated contract terms. Prepare the renewed tenancy contract and required documents, then submit them via the Dubai REST app or at an authorised Real Estate Trustee Centre. EGSH consultants handle renewals on-site, ensuring that the updated tenancy is registered in DLD’s system within minutes.

Reprint Ejari

If your Ejari Certificate has been lost, damaged, or you require an additional official copy, you can request an Ejari reprint through an authorised Real Estate Trustee Centre, such as the EGSH. The consultant will retrieve your tenancy record from the DLD system and issue a new printed certificate on the spot after verifying your identity and payment of the applicable service fee.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!
