Download it in Dubai REST

  1. Open the Dubai REST app.
  2. Tap Download Certificate and choose the Ejari certificate.
  3. Enter your Ejari contract number.
  4. Enter your DEWA premise number or Dubai Municipality (DM) number.

Check your email

Certificates for approved online applications are emailed to the address used for the registration. If your agent, property manager or setl registered it, ask them for a copy.

If it won't download

  • Make sure registration is actually complete, not just submitted or paid.
  • Use the Ejari contract number, not the application reference or payment receipt number.
  • Double-check the premise number.
  • If it still fails, contact whoever registered it, or the Dubai Land Department.

After you download it

Check your name, the property, rent and dates. Save it with your signed contract and receipt. You'll need it for DEWA, internet and your move-in permit.
