[Start Your Enquiry](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/contact-us/) [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/971524841790) A certified true copy of a tenancy contract is a copy of your Ejari-registered rental agreement that a licensed UAE legal professional has examined against the original and endorsed as a genuine, accurate copy, for use as proof of address. The certification confirms the copy matches the original document presented. It does not itself confirm that the tenancy is currently active or that you reside at the property, that assessment is made by the institution receiving the document, sometimes alongside other supporting evidence. ## Certified Tenancy Contracts for Proof of Address Banks, schools, and visa authorities often ask tenants for a certified true copy of tenancy contract Dubai residents can submit as proof of address. This page explains how that certification works. ## Who Needs This Certification - Tenants opening a bank account and asked for certified proof of their residential address - Visa applicants needing to confirm their current UAE address - Parents applying for school admission where proof of residence is required - Individuals renewing an Emirates ID or driving license where address verification is requested - New residents registering with a government department or utility provider - Family visa dependents whose address needs to be shown alongside the sponsor’s ## Who Can Attend and What Is Required The certification is most straightforward when the tenant named on the contract attends in person with the original Ejari-registered tenancy contract and identification. If you are a dependent or family member living at the address but not named on the contract, bring supporting documents such as your passport and Emirates ID, and check with the receiving institution whether they need a separate confirmation of your residence at that address. ## How the Certification Works 1. Share your tenancy contract details and the purpose of certification with our team 2. We confirm the documents needed and book your appointment 3. Your original tenancy contract is examined against the copy by a licensed UAE legal professional 4. The copy is certified as a true copy of the original 5. You collect the certified copy, ready for submission ## Common Mistakes to Avoid - Submitting a tenancy contract that has not been registered with Ejari - The contract not being in the applicant’s own name - Bringing an expired tenancy contract when a current, active one is required - Missing pages, since a certified copy should reflect the complete contract, not selected pages - A name spelling mismatch between the tenancy contract and the passport or Emirates ID ## Typical Situations A new resident opening a bank account is asked to provide a certified copy of their Ejari tenancy contract as proof of address. A family visa dependent needs a certified copy of the household’s tenancy contract to support their residence application. A parent applying for their child’s school admission is asked to submit certified proof of the family’s current address in Dubai. ## Tenancy Contract vs Utility Bill for Proof of Address Some institutions accept either a certified utility bill or a certified tenancy contract as proof of address, while others ask for both. If you are unsure which document your bank, school, or visa authority prefers, check their specific requirement before your appointment, since this varies by institution. See our Certified True Copy of Utility Bill for Proof of Address page if you need that document certified as well. Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Bring the registered contract along with the Ejari certificate if it was issued separately. This depends on what the receiving institution requires. Bring your passport and Emirates ID and any documents showing your relationship to the named tenant, and check with the institution about their specific requirement. Generally all pages of the tenancy contract should be included, so the certified copy reflects the complete document. Missing pages can lead to the copy being rejected by the receiving institution. An expired contract may not be accepted as current proof of address. If your renewal is in progress, check with the receiving institution about what interim proof, if any, they will accept. No. Ejari is the registration system for tenancy contracts, and the Ejari certificate is a separate document from the contract itself. Bring both if you have them, since some institutions ask for the certificate alongside the certified contract. ## Get Your Tenancy Contract Certified for Proof of Address Contact us today and we will prepare your certified true copy in house.
