The direct answer

To verify a Dubai real estate advertisement, scan its Madmoun QR code and compare the result on the Dubai Land Department website with the listing. RERA requires the code on real estate advertisements so customers can check the authorised company, permit and property information.

A practical checklist

1. Scan from the advertisement itself

Use the QR code displayed on the listing, poster, video or agent material. The destination should be an official DLD page, not a lookalike form asking for payment or identity details.

2. Compare every material detail

Check the advertising company, property status, specifications, price or value information and permit validity. Treat a mismatch in building, unit or advertiser as a warning.

3. Verify the broker separately

Use DLD’s broker and licence tools to match the agent and company. A valid advertisement permit does not authorise a different person to collect money.

4. Recheck before paying

Confirm ownership or developer status, contract terms and payment beneficiary. Save the official result and report a misleading or permit-free advertisement to DLD.

Important: A valid QR permit confirms authorised advertising information; it does not prove title, guarantee availability or replace contract and payment checks.

Before you act

DLD advises customers to deal only with advertisements showing the QR code. A copied code can point to another property, so the on-screen details must match the exact offer.
