How to check your status
- Open the Dubai REST app and sign in with UAE PASS.
- Go to RERA services and open your tenancy.
- Confirm the contract is registered and active — look up by Ejari number or your Emirates ID.
Why verify
Checking the official record (not just a PDF someone sends you) protects you against rental scams and double-letting: a genuine, active Ejari should show the correct property, the right parties, and a current term. If the details don't match, treat it as a red flag.
What "active" means
An active Ejari is a current, uncancelled registration. If a previous tenancy was never cancelled, the unit can't be re-registered — another reason to confirm the status before committing.

Common questions
How do I check my Ejari status?
Use the Dubai REST app: sign in with UAE PASS and open your tenancy under RERA services to see whether the contract is registered and active, using your Ejari number or Emirates ID.
How can I verify an Ejari is genuine?
Check it through the official Dubai REST app / DLD channels rather than trusting a PDF alone. A genuine, active Ejari shows the matching property, parties and term.
Where do I find my Ejari number?
It's printed on your Ejari certificate. You can re-download the certificate from the Dubai REST app at any time.
