The standard checklist
- The signed tenancy contract (original).
- A copy of the property's title deed.
- The landlord's passport / Emirates ID (or the agency's details).
- Your Emirates ID, plus passport and visa page.
- A recent DEWA bill or premises number.
If a company is the landlord
Add the company's trade licence, and a power of attorney for whoever signs on its behalf. Managed buildings usually hold these and can register on your behalf.
A couple of tips
- Make sure names on the contract match the IDs exactly — mismatches cause rejections.
- The DEWA premises number ties the registration to the right unit — get it from any DEWA bill.
