Co-Occupant Registration: No Personal Info Needed And No Deadline

Farah Makhlouf

On September 23 the Dubai Land Department (DLD) issued a circular to tenants and homeowners to register co-occupants within 2 weeks.

The DLD shared new directives with the media on October 8 stating that residents need to declare the number of co-occupants and other data is optional

Previously, occupants had to declare co-occupant’s Emirates ID and date of birth.

As part of Dubai Land Department’s efforts to provide the highest standards of quality of life and enhance the health and safety standards in the existing buildings, we would like to inform you that residents must declare the number of occupants within a rented property in the system.

The DLD wrote, adding that “all other personal data is optional.”

The 2-week deadline (which would’ve ended in the past 2 days) no longer applies, according to Khaleej Times.

Residents must complete the registration on the Dubai REST app but there’s no deadline anymore

Once registered, all information will automatically be updated on the tenancy contract. Registering all the people living in a home allows each resident to use an Ejari contract as proof of address.

The instructions:

  1. Open Dubai REST App and login to the Application. Please register if you’re a new user.
  2. Choose your role as “Individual” and login with UAE PASS for quick access
  3. Authenticate yourself via UAE PASS Application
  4. From the Dashboard, select the property where you are a tenant
  1. Select Manage Co-occupants to proceed
  2. Select “Add More” to add Co-Occupants to the property where you are a tenant
  3. Enter the Emirates ID and Date of Birth of the Co-Occupant and select “Verify”.
  4. Add all members of the family who are living in that property. To remove a Co-occupant, select the delete icon and submit.
