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

The government fee for Ejari registration is AED 100 through the Dubai REST app or DLD website, plus AED 10 for knowledge and AED 10 for innovation fees. At trustee centres, the total cost is AED 120 plus AED 95 (service partner fee) and VAT.
