How to print a valid physical copy
The downloaded PDF prints as an A4 official certificate with a scannable QR code, Ejari contract number, and DLD stamp. Any authority scanning the QR sees the live record — a printed copy is treated as equivalent to a stamped original as long as the QR verifies.
What to do if the certificate won't download
- Confirm your Emirates ID is linked to the same UAE Pass account as the Ejari.
- Check the contract isn't expired — expired contracts show as historical and download separately.
- If the property changed hands, the old Ejari transfers to the new owner's dashboard — request a copy from the property manager.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ejari certificate free to download?
Yes. Downloading from Dubai REST or dubailand.gov.ae is free. Physical copies at a Trustee Centre cost AED 25–50.
How do I verify a printed Ejari certificate?
Every certificate has a QR code in the top-right corner. Scanning it opens the live DLD record — if it matches, the certificate is valid.
Can my landlord download my Ejari for me?
Yes. The landlord sees the same contract on their dashboard and can share the PDF. But you can always download it yourself via UAE Pass.
How long is an Ejari certificate valid?
It's valid for the tenancy term (usually one year) and shows on the certificate. After expiry it moves to historical records but stays downloadable.
Do I need a printed copy for a visa renewal?
Most GDRFA and Amer centres accept the digital certificate scanned from your phone. Print one A4 copy as a backup — it takes 30 seconds and covers you in case of connectivity issues.
