- Centre applies at a trustee centre or online and pays the fee.
- DLD issues the certificate electronically at once.
Tips that save you a trip
- If you can sign in to the Dubai REST app yourself, the same certificate costs AED 70 instead of AED 122.50.
- Tell us who the letter is for (bank, embassy, court) so the right type is requested.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- The applicant is not the owner and has no authorisation.
- Owner data in DLD (passport/ID) is outdated, so the record cannot be matched.
