Dubai REST App for Owners: What You Can Do (Complete 2026 Guide)
Every Dubai property owner should have Dubai REST. Ejari, title deeds, mortgages, service charges, and the rent calculator — all in one government app.
The Dubai REST app (Real Estate Self Transaction) is the Dubai Land Department's one-stop platform for every property transaction in the emirate. If you own even one unit in Dubai, this app replaces a dozen visits to service centres every year. Here's everything it can do.
- Dubai REST is free, government-official, and authenticated via UAE Pass.
- It auto-loads every property linked to your Emirates ID.
- The QR-verified title deed is accepted by every UAE bank and government service.
- The rent calculator inside the app is the authoritative source for RERA rent caps.
- RDSC dispute filings through the app are typically scheduled 3–5 days faster.
Setup in 3 minutes
- Download 'Dubai REST' from the App Store or Google Play.
- Log in with UAE Pass.
- The app auto-loads every property linked to your Emirates ID — no manual entry.
The 10 things every owner should use it for
- Download digital title deed (PDF with QR code — accepted by all banks).
- View all Ejaris on your properties (active + historical).
- Register new Ejari for your tenants.
- Check the RERA Rental Index and calculate lawful rent increases.
- View your Mollak service charge invoices and payment history.
- Track any mortgage registered against the title.
- Get an instant DLD valuation report.

- Vote in your OA general assembly under Mollak.
- Report a rental dispute directly to RDSC.
Ownership verification for buyers
Before buying resale property in Dubai, ask the seller for the QR-verified title deed via Dubai REST. Scan the QR — it opens the live DLD record and confirms owner name, mortgage status, and any encumbrances. This 30-second check prevents 99% of resale scams.
The Rental Dispute filing shortcut
Dubai REST → Services → Rental Dispute lets you file an RDSC case directly, upload evidence, pay the 3.5% filing fee, and track hearings — all without visiting the RDSC building. Cases filed via the app usually get their first hearing scheduled 3–5 days faster.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Dubai REST app free?
Yes — the app and all core services are free. Only DLD service fees (title deed verification, valuation report, RDSC filing) are charged, and they're the same as any physical service centre.
Can I use Dubai REST without a UAE residence visa?
You need a UAE Pass account, which requires an Emirates ID. Non-resident owners typically hold Emirates IDs linked to their investor visa or property investor visa — those enable full Dubai REST access.
Does Dubai REST work for commercial properties?
Yes — every property registered with DLD is accessible, including offices, retail, warehouses, and industrial units. The Mollak and RDSC integrations work identically.
How accurate is the DLD valuation report in Dubai REST?
It's the official DLD valuation used for mortgage, insurance, and legal purposes. Accuracy is typically within 3–5% of transacted market prices, based on recent Ejari and sale registrations in the same community.
Can I share my title deed from Dubai REST?
Yes — the app generates a QR-verified PDF that any bank, insurance provider, or government service can validate by scanning the QR.
