Tawtheeq Registration in Abu Dhabi: Everything You Need to Know

Tawtheeq is Abu Dhabi's tenancy contract registration system — the equivalent of Dubai's Ejari. Registration is mandatory and here is what you need to know.

Why Tawtheeq Matters

Without Tawtheeq registration, you cannot:

• Connect ADDC utilities (water and electricity)
• Sponsor dependents on your visa
• File rental disputes with the ADJD
• Access government services requiring proof of residence

How to Register

Registration is done through the TAMM platform:

1. Visit the TAMM website or app
2. Both landlord and tenant need their Emirates IDs
3. The landlord provides the title deed or property ownership proof
4. Upload the signed tenancy contract
5. Pay the registration fee

Required Documents

• Signed tenancy contract
• Landlord's Emirates ID and title deed
• Tenant's Emirates ID or passport
• Property details (plot number, unit number)

If Your Landlord Refuses

If your landlord refuses or delays Tawtheeq registration:

1. Send a formal written notice — use our notice generator
2. Report to Abu Dhabi Municipality
3. File a complaint through TAMM
4. If needed, file a dispute with the ADJD Rental Disputes Committee
