Ejari Certificate: What It Is and How to Download It
The Ejari certificate is the official document proving your Dubai tenancy is registered with the Dubai Land Department. It carries your Ejari number and the property details, and you need it to activate DEWA, complete visa steps and file at the Rental Dispute Center. Once your contract is registered, download the certificate from the Dubai REST app, or collect it from the trustee centre that registered it.
- Proof your tenancy is registered
- Carries your Ejari number
- Needed for DEWA and visa steps
- Download from the Dubai REST app
What the certificate shows
The Ejari certificate lists the Ejari contract number, the property and its details, the landlord and tenant, the rent and the contract dates. That Ejari number is what DEWA and other services ask for, so keep the certificate safe and download a fresh copy whenever you renew.
How to download it
| Route | How |
|---|---|
| Dubai REST app | Sign in, open your registered contract, and download the certificate. |
| Trustee centre | Collect or ask for a copy from the centre that registered your Ejari. |
| DLD channels | Access it through the Dubai Land Department services with your account. |
If you cannot find it
If the certificate is missing, first confirm the contract was actually registered, not just signed. An unregistered contract has no certificate. Check with the landlord or the trustee centre, and if the registration was never completed, register it before you can download anything.
Prefer to do it yourself?
Confirm your registration file first with the Ejari Document Checker, and read how to register on Dubai REST.
