Common reasons Ejari gets rejected
Most Ejari rejections come down to a small set of avoidable issues. Here is what causes them and why.
| Reason | Why it happens |
|---|---|
| Name mismatch | The tenant or landlord name on the contract does not match the Emirates ID or the title deed. |
| Missing Emirates ID | The tenant Emirates ID is not provided or has expired. |
| Representative without a Power of Attorney | Someone signs for the landlord without authority on file. |
| Wrong property identifiers | Makani, DEWA premise number, or title deed details are missing or incorrect. |
| Old Ejari not cancelled | A previous registration on the same unit is still active. |
| Dates or payment mismatch | The dates do not line up, or the rent total and the cheque total do not agree. |
How to fix each rejection reason
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Name mismatch | Correct the names on the contract so they match the Emirates ID and the title deed. |
| Missing Emirates ID | Add a valid tenant Emirates ID before registering. |
| Representative without POA | Prepare a valid Power of Attorney for the person signing. |
| Wrong property identifiers | Confirm Makani, DEWA premise number, and title deed details against the property documents. |
| Old Ejari not cancelled | Cancel the previous Ejari on the unit where it applies. |
| Dates or payment mismatch | Fix the contract dates and align the payment schedule with the annual rent. |

Frequently asked questions
Why is Ejari rejected?
Ejari is usually rejected because of a name mismatch, a missing Emirates ID, wrong or missing property identifiers, a representative without a Power of Attorney, an old Ejari that was not cancelled, or dates and payments that do not agree.
What are the most common Ejari rejection reasons?
Name mismatches with the title deed, missing documents, and an uncancelled previous Ejari on the same unit are among the most common. The checker above flags each of these so you can fix them first.
How do I fix an Ejari rejection?
Correct the specific issue that caused it: match the names, add the missing document, cancel the old Ejari, or fix the dates and payment totals. Then resubmit through your registration channel.
Does a name mismatch cause Ejari rejection?
Yes. Names on the contract should match the Emirates ID and the title deed. A mismatch is a frequent cause of rejection and is quick to fix before submitting.
Do I need to cancel the old Ejari before renewing?
Where a previous Ejari is still active on the same unit, it usually needs to be cancelled before a new registration is accepted. Confirm this for your case on the official Ejari channel.
