Property transactions in Dubai involve several registration and service fees, and the payment process can differ depending on the type of transaction. Whether you are purchasing an off-plan property, transferring ownership, or registering a tenancy agreement, you may come across Noqodi as one of the available payment methods.
However, not every transaction requires you to create a Noqodi account or fund a wallet. In this article, we explain what Noqodi is, how it works with DLD, Oqood and Ejari, how to complete payments and what to check before making a transaction.
How Does Noqodi Relate to DLD, Oqood and Ejari?
Noqodi, DLD, Oqood and Ejari serve different purposes in Dubai's real estate registration process. Understanding the role of each service can help buyers, property owners, and tenants complete the correct procedures and payments.
Service
Role in the Property Process
DLD
The Dubai Land Department, responsible for property registration and related real estate services in Dubai.
Oqood
DLD's system for registering off-plan property sales in the Interim Real Estate Register.
Ejari
The system used to register tenancy contracts in Dubai.
Noqodi
A digital payment platform used to settle fees for supported government and real estate services.
Not every DLD transaction requires a Noqodi wallet. The available payment methods depend on the service and the channel used to complete the application.
Some DLD services accept alternative payment methods, including credit cards, Dubai Pay, or manager's cheques.
If a developer, property management company, or registration trustee centre is handling the application, it may also arrange the payment on your behalf.
Before creating or funding a wallet, check the payment options available for your specific transaction and confirm whether you need to make the payment directly.
How Do You Set Up a Noqodi Account?
If your transaction requires a Noqodi wallet, you can register through the platform's official website or mobile app.
Follow these steps to create an account:
Choose Your Account Type: Select an Individual account for personal payments or a Corporate account for company transactions. Merchant accounts are intended for businesses accepting payments.
Verify Your Contact Details: Enter the required information and complete the verification process using the codes sent to your registered email address and mobile number.
Complete Identity Verification: Provide the requested identification details and complete the applicable verification checks. It’s worth noting that Individual accounts may require identity-document verification and facial recognition.
Once you have submitted the required information, follow the account approval process before attempting to make a payment.
It is advisable to complete registration in advance, particularly if you have an upcoming DLD payment deadline.
How Can You Add Money to a Noqodi Wallet?
Noqodi offers several ways to add funds to a digital wallet, depending on the account type and available payment methods.
These include:
Net Banking: Choose the amount you want to add, select a supported bank, and complete the payment through your bank's authorisation process.
Bank Transfer: Transfer funds to the virtual IBAN assigned to your Noqodi wallet, using the banking details provided within your account.
Exchange Houses: Add funds through a participating exchange house using the required Noqodi wallet details.
Credit and debit card top-ups are also available for eligible corporate accounts.
Before proceeding, check the available methods and any applicable charges. Once the transfer is completed, confirm that the funds appear in your wallet balance.
How Do You Pay DLD Fees Through Noqodi?
Noqodi is available as a payment option for certain Dubai Land Department services. However, the process depends on the type of transaction, and some procedures may still require assistance from a registration trustee centre.
1. Open the Relevant DLD Service
Access the required service through the DLD website or the authorised registration channel handling your transaction.
Complete the application details and submit the necessary documents before proceeding to payment.
2. Review the Payment Request
Check the property details, applicant information, application reference, and total amount payable.
Make sure the payment request relates to the correct registration or service.
3. Select Noqodi as the Payment Method
If Noqodi Wallet is available, select it from the payment options and follow the instructions to authorise the transaction.
Confirm that your wallet has sufficient funds to cover the required amount and any applicable charges.
4. Save the Payment Confirmation
Once the payment is completed, keep the receipt and transaction reference for your records.
You should also check the original DLD application to confirm that the payment has been recorded and complete any remaining registration requirements.
How Are Oqood Fees Paid Through Noqodi?
When purchasing an off-plan property in Dubai, the developer is responsible for registering the sale through the Dubai Land Department's Oqood system. This registration requires a fee, which can be paid through Noqodi Wallet or deducted from the project's escrow account.
As a buyer, you should confirm the registration fees and payment arrangements directly with the developer. Once the registration is approved, you will receive an Oqood provisional registration certificate, which serves as the official record of your property purchase before the final title deed is issued.
How Do You Pay Ejari Fees Online Using Noqodi?
Ejari registration and renewal can be completed through eligible online channels, including the DLD website and Dubai REST app.
Depending on the service, Noqodi Wallet may be available as one of the payment options.
To complete an eligible online Ejari application:
Access the Ejari Service: Log in through the relevant DLD channel or Dubai REST and select registration or renewal.
Enter the Tenancy Details: Provide the required property and tenancy information, along with any supporting documents.
Review and Pay the Fees: Check the amount payable and select an available payment method, including Noqodi Wallet where offered.
Receive the Ejari Certificate: Once the application is approved, obtain the electronic tenancy registration certificate and keep it with your payment receipt.
Which Charges Should You Check Before Proceeding With the Payment?
The total amount payable through Noqodi may include additional charges beyond the government registration fee.
Before authorising a payment, review the following:
Government Fees: The official charges associated with the DLD service or registration.
Service Provider Fees: Additional charges from a registration trustee centre, property manager or other authorised provider, where applicable.
Payment Processing Charges: Any fees associated with the Noqodi payment method or wallet funding.
VAT and Bank Charges: Applicable VAT and any additional charges imposed by your bank or payment provider.
What If Your Noqodi Payment Is Pending or No Receipt Appears?
If your payment does not appear as completed, check both your Noqodi transaction history and the original DLD application.
If the amount has already been deducted from your wallet or bank account, avoid making another payment until the transaction has been checked.
When contacting support, have the following information ready:
Noqodi transaction reference
DLD application number
Payment amount and date
Payment confirmation or bank transaction record
For payment-related issues, contact Noqodi Customer Support on 600 503 036.
If the issue concerns the DLD application or registration, contact the Dubai Land Department on 800 4488 or the service provider handling your transaction.
