GUIDE
How do I check my Ejari is valid?
Get it from the official source
Don't rely only on a copy someone forwarded. Download it yourself from the Dubai REST app or DLD website using your Ejari contract number and the property reference.
Check the status
Being able to download a certificate doesn't prove it's still active. In Dubai REST or on the DLD website, open your property wallet, select the property and check the contract status.
What to compare
Check the certificate against your signed contract and IDs:
- Your name and the landlord's name
- Building and unit number
- Annual rent
- Start and end dates
- That it's for your current tenancy, not an old one
If something's wrong
Contact whoever registered it, or the DLD if you used the app. Don't edit the certificate yourself. How to correct an error on your Ejari.
