RERA Form A FAQ — Dubai

Form A is DLD's real-estate e-marketing contract, called Contract A in the broker workflow. It is an agreement between a broker and a property owner that authorises the broker to market a specific ready property. DLD's brokerage practice guide places it within the smart-contract framework that links marketing agreements to real-estate permits.

DLD's broker guide shows the broker creating the contract and the owner approving it. After the broker submits Contract A, DLD sends a link with the contract details to the owner or owners. Once the owner approves through that link, the broker can search and download the contract.

DLD's 2025 Trakheesi User Manual states that a ready property for sale in Dubai requires the marketing Contract A number before the permit fee is settled and the permit is obtained. For off-plan, rental, or non-sale scenarios, the applicable DLD workflow may differ. Confirm the requirement for a specific transaction through the live DLD system.

Contract A is created in the Dubai Brokers workflow, not inside Trakheesi itself. DLD's broker guide shows the broker entering the Dubai REST app, opening Contracts, and creating Contract A with title-deed and property details, commission, duration, and an owner-signed NOC. After owner approval, the broker uses the Contract A number in the Trakheesi permit journey and settles the fee to obtain the advertising permit.

DLD's broker guide lists a valid or latest title-deed number and year, property type, and an owner-verification method. The broker enters commission and contract-duration details and uploads an NOC signed by the owner. Optional supporting documents and notes can also be attached. The live workflow is authoritative if the required fields change.

No. DLD's manual treats Contract A as an input to the ready-sale permit path. The broker enters the Contract A number, settles the fees, and obtains the Trakheesi advertising permit through the permit workflow. The contract authorises the marketing relationship; the permit authorises the advertisement.

Form A is the seller-broker marketing agreement: it authorises a broker to market a specific property for an owner. Form B is the buyer-broker agreement, governing the relationship between a broker and a buyer. DLD publishes both within its smart-contract framework, and each serves a different side of the transaction.

DLD does not publish a fixed processing time in the materials cited here. The broker guide shows owner approval as the gating step: once the owner approves the contract through the link sent by DLD, the broker can search and download the contract. The overall timeline depends on how quickly the owner reviews and approves the submitted terms.

No. DLD's broker guide shows Contract A created with a specific title-deed number, property type, and property details. One contract covers one property. To market multiple properties, create a separate Contract A for each property and use each contract number in the corresponding Trakheesi permit application.

Without owner approval, the broker cannot download the approved Contract A from the DLD system. Without the Contract A number, the broker cannot complete the Trakheesi permit journey for a ready-sale property. The broker cannot lawfully advertise the property under the DLD permit workflow until the owner approves the contract and the permit is issued.
