How to Obtain a Death Certificate in Dubai

Understand the hospital notification and DHA approval steps for an official Dubai death certificate.

Family & records · Reviewed 6 October 2026

For death certificate Dubai, begin with the exact account, document or case reference involved. The linked authority’s live service remains the final source for eligibility, required evidence, timing and any calculated charge.

1. Obtain the medical notification

The responsible hospital or authorised medical process records the death and required clinical information.

2. Prepare the deceased and applicant records

Use the identity, passport and relationship or representative documents requested by the live service.

3. Apply through the official certificate route

Follow DHA’s Birth and Death Services instructions and respond to any review request.

4. Check the certificate before further use

Verify spelling, dates and identifiers. Ask relevant authorities whether attestation, translation or additional registrations are needed.

Use official channels only. Never share an OTP, password or unrestricted UAE Pass approval with an agent.
