How to become a real estate broker in Ajman
In Ajman, the document you need is the real estate activity practice card. It is issued by the Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation (often called AjmanRE). Ajman publishes its requirements and fees clearly, which makes it one of the easier emirates to plan for.
The short version
- Get a UAE residency visa and an Emirates ID.
- Join a real estate office registered with the Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation.
- Pass an accredited real estate qualification programme.
- Get a valid criminal clearance certificate.
- Apply online with UAE Pass, pay the fees and receive your card by email.
- Renew it every year.
Who can get the card
The card is for employees of real estate offices registered with the department. Three conditions apply:
- You have passed a real estate qualification programme.
- Your job title is on the department’s approved list.
- You hold a valid criminal clearance certificate.
The card is valid for one year.
Documents
For a first card, the department asks for:
- A valid criminal clearance certificate
- A personal photo
Fees
| Item | Amount () |
|---|---|
| Practice card | 100 |
| Accreditation of the qualification course, per participant | 2,000 |
| Tax fees | 100 |
These are the amounts listed on the official service page. The training provider may charge its own course price on top, so ask before you enrol.
How to apply
- Sign in with UAE Pass on the department’s e-services portal.
- Submit the request and attach your documents.
- Wait for an SMS or email asking you to pay.
- Pay the fees.
- Receive your practice card by email.
The service time is listed as five minutes once the file is complete.
Renewal
The office submits the renewal. The manager’s card is renewed first, then the brokers’ cards. For a broker, the renewal needs a personal photo, the qualification course certificate and a valid criminal clearance certificate. The fee is 100. Renewals go through the Department of Economic Development’s digital portal or Tasheel centres.
Check your office first
An office needs its own real estate office registration certificate from the department, with a listed fee of 500. Ask to see it before you sign. If the office is not registered, it cannot get you a card.
Fees and rules change. This guide was checked against the Ajman Government service catalogue on the date shown above. Always confirm there before you pay anything. CloserPass is not affiliated with the Ajman Government.
