Sharjah Attestation Checker
Sharjah attests tenancy contracts through Sharjah Municipality, and the attestation is renewed each year. A useful detail is that the municipality activates the SEWA electricity and water connection automatically once your contract is attested, so you do not visit SEWA separately. This checker walks through the documents attestation usually needs, so you can see how ready you are.

How attestation works in Sharjah
In Sharjah, the tenancy contract is stamped and attested by the municipality rather than registered through a separate portal like Ejari or Tawtheeq. Attestation is annual, and the municipality connects SEWA once the contract is attested, which saves a step for tenants.
Documents you usually need
Attestation normally asks for the signed tenancy contract, the Emirates ID of both parties, proof of ownership such as the title deed, and the latest SEWA bill for the property. Depending on the case you may also need a No Objection Certificate from the owner, the licensed real estate office details if an agent handles it, and the property map.
The SEWA connection
Because attestation triggers the SEWA connection, keeping the contract attested each year matters for uninterrupted electricity and water. Confirm the current document list and fee with Sharjah Municipality before you go.
