Read the authority’s process note

Approval must be obtained before the license is issued; this means that you will submit the application. Once the required documents (TPA letter – Initial approval) are generated in the final stage, we will send the documents across to apply for the approval. The client can try to apply for the service through Dubai Land Department - Request a Real Estate License: Step 1: Register and create an account in the Trakheesi system (if the customer does not have a pre-existing account) or log in to the system and choose the service. Step 2: Fill in the data, attach the required documents, and send the application electronically. Step 3: The request is verified, an approval is issued, and a notification of approval will be sent through the system. Step 4: Enter the system, select a payment method, and pay the fees electronically. Step 5: A notification of registration is received, and an electronic no-objection letter is received only for the free zone licenses. Charges: starting from 5,020AED, up to 100,020AED (refer to the link) Please be aware that a Bank guarantee of 5 million AED might be required. Regarding licenses for renting and managing private real estate services: • A copy of the property ownership and the title deed must be in the name of the license holder or one of the partners. • Second-degree associates may manage an owner's real estate according to Local Ordinance No. 2/2003.

Approval documents

Free zone or mainland

  • IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
  • Dubai mainland under DET lets you invoice UAE mainland clients directly, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package.
  • Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) clearance is required before the licence issues, which breaks any advertised same-week timeline.

FAQ

Can I add more activities to a Mortgage Consultant licence later?

Usually yes, as a licence amendment, subject to the authority's rules and any extra approval attached to the new line.

Does this activity need third-party approval?

Yes. Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) must clear the activity before the licence issues, so build that step into your timeline.
