Why was Trakheesi Portal Established?

Dubai Land Department(DLD) was established in 1960 with the purpose to handle the sale and purchase of land and properties in Dubai. Since then, DLD has made many contributions to expand and grow the city’s infrastructure and industrialization to the top level across the world. 

In line with the same vision, DLD introduced Trakheesi, an online portal to streamline the real estate sector with top-notch services that promote both transparency and proper regulation of the transactions carried out in Dubai real estate.

Why do you need a Trakheesi Permit?

To begin a real estate business or become a broker in Dubai, a Trakheesi permit is necessary, similar to how a trade license(Dubai) is required to start a trading business in the city.

All property advertisements in Dubai must be authorized by Trakheesi. Properties that appear on real estate platforms must also be registered there. Regardless of the method of advertising, whether it’s a billboard, PR, or SMS, a permit must be obtained.

Everyone who wishes to open a business in the real estate sector must apply for a RERA license via the Trakheesi online portal.

The primary objective of Trakheesi Dubai is to ensure that real estate listings are legitimate and to determine if advertising for a particular property is permitted and legal in Dubai. To advertise a property through conventional channels, a Trakheesi permit is required.

Trakheesi Dubai is highly efficient and provides impeccable services due to its link to the government’s database. Additionally, updating your professional license on the DLD website will also make you visible on other databases. 

The process has also reduced transaction times from 2 days to just 5. You can easily access your broker card information and real estate progress online. The system aims to replace all manual services with smart technology.
