What Is Real Estate Practice Card Cancellation

Mandatory Card Cancellation for Compliance with DLD & RERA

A Real Estate Professional Practice Card, issued by DLD and RERA, is mandatory for brokers, consultants, evaluators, and other professionals. When an individual leaves the profession, changes company activity, or has their visa cancelled, the card must be officially terminated in the DLD records.

This applies to all practice categories, including brokers, mortgage consultants, evaluators, registrars, and real estate managers. For expatriates, visa cancellation or a change of residency profession is a prerequisite.

EGSH assists companies by submitting cancellation applications through the Trakheesi system, ensuring compliance with DLD requirements and issuing the official revocation notice without delays.

In which cases do I need to cancel my real estate professional practice card in Dubai?

Cancellation of a professional practice card is required if a person leaves the real estate profession, changes their employment or company activity, or when an expatriate’s residency visa is cancelled or their residency profession is changed. DLD requires that all cards—such as broker, consultant, mortgage broker, registrar, and evaluator—be officially terminated in these cases.

What is the process for RERA card cancellation in Dubai?

The cancellation process is completed online through the Trakheesi system. The applicant selects the card cancellation service, attaches the required documents, and submits the application. DLD audits the request within about 8 working hours, and once approved, an official cancellation notice is issued.

What is the Trakheesi system, and how can I use it to complete DLD professional card cancellation online?

The Trakheesi system is the Dubai Land Department’s official electronic platform for licensing and regulating real estate activities. It is used to issue, renew and cancel professional practice cards for brokers, consultants, evaluators and other categories registered with RERA. Through this system, companies submit applications for card cancellation, which are reviewed and processed by DLD. EGSH directly cancels RERA broker cards on behalf of clients through Trakheesi, ensuring that the request is filed correctly and that the official revocation notice is issued within the prescribed timeframe.

Can I cancel my consultant practice card in Dubai online?

A professional practice card, including a consultant card, a mortgage broker card and others, can only be cancelled by the licensed real estate company that employs the professional. Applications are submitted through the DLD’s Trakheesi system by the company administrator, not by individual cardholders. EGSH manages this process on behalf of companies to ensure proper submission and timely issuance of the cancellation notice.

What documents are required for a real estate broker card cancellation in the UAE?

For the Dubai Land Department card cancellation, the following documents are required: — Copy of the cancelled employment visa for expatriates. — A formal cancellation request submitted through the Trakheesi system. DLD may request additional identity documents (such as Emirates ID) in some instances. EGSH verifies that all documents and conditions are in place before filing the cancellation request, avoiding delays or rejection.

What is the timeline for Dubai Land Department card cancellation?

A service time of approximately 8 hours from submission and audit of the online application. At EGSH, the request for the real estate card termination is prepared and filed in a single visit, and the official cancellation notice is delivered electronically once issued by DLD.
