GUIDE
How do I correct an error on my Ejari?
First: where is the mistake?
- Only on the certificate: contact whoever registered it with your contract and proof (for a name, your Emirates ID).
- In the contract too: get a corrected contract signed by both parties, then request the registration correction.
Who to contact
- The typing centre or property manager that registered it
- The Dubai Land Department, if you registered through Dubai REST
- setl, if we registered it for you
Don't edit it or cancel it yourself
You can't change an active Ejari directly in the app. Ask the DLD or the registration provider whether it needs an administrative correction or a cancellation and re-registration, and what approvals and fees apply. Don't cancel your Ejari or submit a second one until you're told the right process.
If you've already used it
Tell them if you've used the certificate for DEWA, internet or your move-in permit. Those records may need updating too.
After it's fixed
Download the new certificate, check every detail again, and keep it with the written confirmation and receipts.
Common questions
Can I edit my Ejari in the Dubai REST app?
No. Active Ejari details can't be changed directly. Contact the DLD or whoever registered it.
Should I cancel and re-register to fix a mistake?
Not until the DLD or your registration provider confirms that's the right process.
