Ejari Registration Dubai: Current Fees, Documents and Steps

Ejari records a tenancy contract with Dubai Land Department. Article 4 of Dubai's amended tenancy law requires lease contracts covered by that law, and their amendments, to be registered with RERA. The result of the current DLD register/renew service is an electronic contract-registration certificate.

Registration creates an official record of the parties' written terms. It does not replace careful checks of the rent, dates, property details, cooling allocation and added clauses before both parties sign.

The same DLD service page covers both registration and renewal. Fees can change, so open the official service immediately before submitting rather than relying on a saved screenshot or an older article.

Use DLD's live trustee locator rather than an old copied list of offices or telephone numbers.

For a Dubai-issued power of attorney, DLD says the number can be entered without attaching the document; a power of attorney issued in another emirate must be attached. The service page's list is the published core list, not a guarantee that DLD will never request an identity or data correction for a particular case.

Older generic checklists often add passports, visas, a landlord passport, title deed, deposit receipt, meter letter and other items as universal requirements. Those are not listed as universal registration/renewal documents on the current DLD service page, so do not collect or upload them unless the live workflow or your case specifically asks for them.

DLD's download form does not rely on a registered mobile number alone. Have the contract and property identifiers ready.

Registration and renewal share DLD's current service, channels and published fee schedule. Recheck the tenancy terms—including rent, dates and utility allocation—before submitting the renewal.

DLD currently lists online or app cancellation as free. Cancellation at a Trustee Centre carries an AED 40 partner fee plus VAT. A tenant cancelling an active registration needs owner approval or an owner letter/NOC; DLD's current awareness guide says an expired contract does not require landlord approval.

DLD says it does not issue a cancellation certificate or receipt: once cancellation completes, the registration becomes invalid immediately. Follow the live cancellation checklist because the documents differ by status and applicant.

Check the contract through the DLD website or Dubai REST Property Wallet. For general DLD and Ejari support, the current DLD contact page lists +971 8004488, together with enquiry, technical-support and live-chat options. The separate 600 503 036 number shown on DLD pages is for Noqodi payment support, not the general Ejari line.
