Accessing the Trakheesi system begins with your digital identity. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has streamlined this process by mandating the use of UAE PASS, the national digital identity and signature solution. This single sign-on service eliminates the need for multiple usernames and passwords, providing secure, authenticated access to a wide range of government services, including the entire real estate ecosystem.

The primary interface for many DLD services is the Dubai REST app. While the Trakheesi system has its own dedicated web portal for managing permits, the initial setup and linking of your professional license happen through the REST app. Ensure you have the app downloaded and your UAE PASS is fully verified before proceeding. This integration is crucial; the systems are designed to work together to verify your credentials and authorize your activities in real-time.

With your UAE PASS active, the next step is to link your real estate broker's card or company license within the Dubai REST app. This one-time process validates your professional standing with the DLD.

1. Log into the Dubai REST app using your UAE PASS.
2. Navigate to the services for business partners or brokers.
3. Select the option to link or register your license.
4. Enter your broker card number (ORN) or trade license number.

The system cross-references this information with the DLD's official registry. Once validated, your digital identity is permanently associated with your professional license. This link is what enables you to access the Trakheesi portal with the correct permissions.

Once your license is linked, you can log into the Trakheesi web portal directly, again using your UAE PASS. The dashboard serves as your command center for all advertising permits.

The main dashboard typically presents a summary of your active, pending, and expired permits. You can filter and search for specific permits, making it easy to track the compliance status of all your listings. For brokerage firms, the system allows for different user roles. A company owner or manager can assign permissions, enabling individual agents to apply for permits under the company's license while maintaining central oversight. This tiered access ensures that agents can work efficiently without compromising the firm's compliance.

Understanding this digital workflow is the first step to ensuring every property you market is fully compliant with DLD regulations.
