This checklist is a general guide for UAE mortgages and may vary by bank and circumstance. We confirm the exact documents for your case — free.
What documents do you need for a mortgage in the UAE?
Every UAE mortgage application rests on three things the bank verifies: who you are (identity & residency), that you can repay (income & existing commitments), and the property itself. The exact paperwork depends on whether you're a UAE national, resident expat or non-resident, and on whether you're salaried or self-employed. Use the tool above for a list tailored to you, then talk to an advisor to confirm.

Document FAQs
Do I need an Emirates ID to apply?
UAE residents and nationals do. Non-residents apply with a passport and proof of overseas address instead.
What do self-employed applicants need?
Typically a valid trade licence, Memorandum of Association, 6–12 months of company bank statements and audited financials, on top of the standard identity documents.
What property documents are required?
For a completed property: the signed MOU and the seller's title deed, plus a bank valuation. For off-plan: the Sale & Purchase Agreement with the developer and receipts for payments made.
