What the DLD charges
The table is built only from the DLD service page for issuing a practice card and the DLD FAQ. Checked on 28 October 2026.
| Item | DLD figure | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Broker exam, each attempt | AED 700 | Practice card page |
| Knowledge fee on the exam | AED 10 | Practice card page |
| Innovation fee on the exam | AED 10 | Practice card page |
| ERES fee on the exam | AED 50 + VAT | Practice card page |
| Exam lines before VAT | AED 770 | Sum of the four lines |
| Broker card issuance | AED 500 | Practice card page |
| Other practice cards, each (national broker, mortgage broker, mortgage consultant, management, private management, consultant, registrar, private sale and purchase) | AED 500 | Practice card page |
| Real estate evaluator card | AED 5,000 + AED 10 + AED 10 | Practice card page |
| Real Estate Projects Marketing card | See the DLD page | Not itemised in what we checked |
| Broker card renewal | AED 520 | FAQ |
| Ejari registration, online | AED 100 + AED 10 + AED 10 | FAQ |
| Ejari registration, trustee centre | AED 120 + partner fee AED 95 + VAT | FAQ |
The renewal line comes with a second requirement: a certificate of a continuing education course, also listed in the FAQ. The Ejari lines are there because exam questions on leasing ask about them.
RERA Exam is independent of the Dubai Land Department and RERA. The DLD can change its fees: its pages prevail.
What a first year costs at the DLD
A simple sum for a new broker. It is our addition, not a DLD figure.
Add the four exam lines (AED 770 before VAT) and the card (AED 500). You reach AED 1,270 before VAT on the ERES line. A year later, renewal adds AED 520.
What this sum leaves out
Training, the good conduct certificate and the brokerage’s trade licence. The DLD pages we checked give no fee for them, so we state none. Ask your brokerage what it covers for you.
| Line | AED |
|---|---|
| Exam, knowledge, innovation, ERES | 770 |
| Broker card | 500 |
| Total, year one | 1,270 |
| Renewal, year two | 520 |
What other guides quote, and why they differ
You will find several totals online. They are not always wrong. They count different things.
- Exam only. Some quote AED 700 and stop there. The DLD adds AED 10 and AED 10.
- The ERES line. It carries VAT, so a total is “before VAT” or “after VAT”. Check which.
- The card. The AED 500 card fee is a separate charge from the exam.
- Training and licence. These are not DLD exam fees. Some totals include them, and the costs depend on the provider.
- Old figures. Fees change. A guide written years ago can be right for its date and wrong today.
The same applies to the exam format. The DLD publishes no question count, duration or pass mark. When a guide gives you one, it is a report, not a DLD rule.

Questions about the fees
Other answers: the full FAQ.
Is the exam fee paid again if I fail?
The DLD does not publish retake rules. Guides say you can resit and pay the fee again.
Does the broker card fee include the exam?
No. The DLD lists the exam fees and the card fee as separate lines.
Are some people exempt from the exam fee?
Three groups are exempt from the exam itself: applicants over 55, brokers with 5 consecutive years in the same real estate office, and start-up licence holders.
Can my brokerage pay for my preparation?
Yes. Brokerages can buy seats for a team and get one invoice. See RERA prep for brokerages.
