What is a broker card in Dubai?

A Broker Card (officially called a Real Estate Professional Practice Card) is a mandatory credential issued by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) under the Dubai Land Department (DLD). It authorises professionals such as brokers, consultants, evaluators, and others to practise real estate activities in Dubai legally. Without this card, individuals cannot perform or represent real estate transactions under a valid trade licence.

What types of RERA broker cards exist?

RERA issues a range of professional practice cards for different roles within the real estate sector. These include: — Real Estate Broker — National Broker — Real Estate Consultant — Mortgage Broker / Consultant — Real Estate Management (Private / General) — Sale & Purchase Card (Private Real Estate Sale & Purchase) — Real Estate Registrar / Services Registrar — Real Estate Evaluator — Trainee Evaluator — Real Estate Projects Marketing Card EGSH assists companies in selecting the correct RERA card type, preparing documents, and completing the renewal or application process directly through DLD systems.

How can I apply for a RERA broker card in Dubai?

Applications for a RERA broker card are submitted online through the Dubai Land Department's Trakheesi system or the Dubai REST application. The applicant must select the relevant professional practice card service, complete the application form, and upload the required documents. After submission, the system verifies the information, and the applicant pays the applicable fees. Once approved, an electronic card (e-card) is issued and can be downloaded or printed directly from the system, usually within minutes. EGSH supports companies throughout this process by ensuring that all documentation is correct, managing the submission through Trakheesi, and arranging payment, so the broker card is issued without delays or errors.

How can I get a broker card in Dubai?

To obtain a broker card, applicants must first hold a valid trade licence with real estate brokerage activity registered under the Dubai Land Department. They must also complete the mandatory RERA training course and pass the professional exam. After meeting these requirements, the application is submitted online via the Trakheesi system or the Dubai REST app with supporting documents and payment of fees. Once approved, the electronic broker card is issued through the DLD system. EGSH assists companies by managing each step, from registration to final card issuance.

Why do I need to renew my broker card in Dubai?

Renewal of a broker card in Dubai is required annually to maintain legal eligibility to practise real estate activities in Dubai. Without a valid card, brokers cannot represent clients, complete transactions, or remain compliant with RERA regulations. Renewal also confirms that professionals have passed the annual test required by RERA to continue in the mediation profession.

Do I need a RERA broker licence before applying for a broker card in Dubai?

A valid RERA-approved real estate brokerage licence, issued under the Dubai Land Department, is mandatory before an individual can apply for a broker card. The trade licence authorises the company to operate in real estate, while the broker card certifies the individual to act on its behalf.

What are the fees for RERA broker card renewal in Dubai?

The renewal fee is AED 500 for most cards, including broker, consultant, mortgage broker, mortgage consultant, registrar, services registrar, management, private management, sale and purchase, and trainee evaluator. Renewal of a real estate evaluator card costs AED 5,000. In addition, an AED 10 knowledge fee and an AED 10 innovation fee apply. Payments can be made by credit card, e-Dirham, or Noqodi through the DLD system.

How long does a DLD professional card renewal take?

Renewal of a real estate professional practice card is completed in around five minutes once the application is submitted and payment is processed online. The renewed e-card can then be downloaded or printed directly from the Trakheesi system. The renewal is completed at EGSH in one visit, with the e-card issued the same day.

What documents are needed for a real estate practice card renewal in the UAE?

To renew a professional practice card, applicants must provide a copy of their Emirates ID and a copy of a valid passport (UAE nationals may need additional documentation). RERA also requires that the applicant has passed the annual professional test for mediation activities and that all sales staff are duly registered with valid cards. EGSH verifies documents and compliance conditions before submitting the renewal application to DLD. Licence holders must maintain valid professional cards after completing a real estate licence application in Dubai .

Is a real estate licence renewal in Dubai the same as RERA card renewal?

No. A real estate licence is issued to the company by the Dubai Land Department and must be renewed separately. In contrast, a RERA broker card is issued to individual professionals working under that licence. Both must be valid for legal practice.

What is the process for RERA registration renewal in Dubai?

RERA registration renewal requires updating the company’s real estate licence and renewing the professional practice cards of all authorised staff through the DLD Trakheesi system. At EGSH, both procedures are completed in one visit, ensuring compliance without delays.

What Is a Real Estate Professional Practice Card Renewal

Official Authorisation for Real Estate Professionals

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.

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.
