How much does a Trakheesi permit cost in Dubai?

The DLD service publishes a category-based fee schedule. It includes advertisements, billboards and promotion campaigns, as well as separate categories for exhibitions, project launches, promotion platforms and real-estate seminars. The correct number depends on the service that the live DLD workflow identifies for the activity.

Do not infer a fee model from a blog post or from a different permit type. The DLD service also records different documents, terms and process steps for different categories, so the category is part of the compliance decision as well as the budget decision.

These are the figures published by DLD’s Real Estate Ad Permit service when this guide was reviewed. They are reproduced as current service information, not as a promise that the same fee will apply to every campaign or remain unchanged.

Use the DLD workflow to identify the permit category before adding a fee to a listing or event budget. The live page tells the applicant to log in to Trakheesi, choose the service, complete the information and documents, receive review/approval, select a payment method and receive an e-permit certificate.

• Identify the actual advertising or event category in the DLD service rather than using a generic ‘Trakheesi cost’ figure.
• Check the required documents and service terms for that category before scheduling a campaign.
• Confirm the live fee including the Knowledge and Innovation Fee immediately before payment.

DLD’s public service page is the source for permit-service fees. It is not a complete budget for photography, portals, media buying, brokerage commission, owner arrangements or legal advice. Keep those commercial costs separate from the government-service fee.

For an unusual category, a property in a different emirate or a complex campaign, the correct next step is confirmation in Trakheesi or with DLD, not extrapolating from the AED 1,000 ‘Other Permits’ entry.
