GUIDE
Can I register Ejari online?
Who can register online
The Dubai REST app works when:
- Both tenant and landlord are individuals (not companies)
- The owner's details are up to date with the Dubai Land Department
- You have a verified UAE PASS account
If the property is managed by a company, they register it instead.
Step by step in Dubai REST
- Download Dubai REST from the App Store or Google Play (publisher: Dubai Land Department).
- Sign in with UAE PASS.
- Choose the Ejari tenancy registration service.
- Enter the details and upload your contract, signed by both parties.
- Pay AED 177.75.
- Your landlord gets an approval request. Tell them it's coming.
- Once approved, download your certificate.
If you can't use the app
If your landlord is a company or the owner's details aren't up to date, register at a trustee (typing) centre, through the property manager, or with setl, which works whoever your landlord is.
Watch out for look-alike sites
Use the official Dubai REST app or DLD website. Not every site offering "Ejari online" is a government service, so check who you're paying.
Common questions
Do I need UAE PASS to register Ejari online?
