Yes, Ejari registration is absolutely mandatory for activating DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) services. Here’s why it is required and how it links to your DEWA account:

• Legal Requirement: DEWA requires a valid Ejari certificate to link the electricity and water services to your specific rental property. This ensures that utility services are properly assigned to the tenant and that the property’s occupancy is legally recognized by the Dubai government.
  
  

• Activation Process: When applying for DEWA services, you’ll need to provide your Ejari number during the application process. DEWA uses this number to verify that the tenancy is legally registered and to prevent unauthorized or fraudulent service activations.
  
  

• Services Linked to Ejari: Without an Ejari registration, DEWA will not activate electricity or water services, meaning you cannot legally move into or occupy the property until this step is completed.
