Sharjah Rental Contract Attestation (Tasdeeq) — Sharjah Municipality
In Sharjah, a tenancy contract only becomes legally recognised once it is attested with Sharjah Municipality — a process known as Tasdeeq. Attestation is needed for renewing utilities, processing family visa files, and keeping your rental legally binding. We prepare and submit the attestation correctly so it is not held up by a missing document or an untranslated contract.

What it costs
The government attestation fee is calculated from the annual rent: 4% for residential contracts and 5% for commercial contracts. On top of that, our processing fee is AED 200–400 depending on the case (translation, renewal, or a straightforward new contract). We confirm the exact total for your contract before any work begins.
Government authority involved
Tenancy attestation in Sharjah is handled by Sharjah Municipality through the Tasdeeq process. The attestation and its fee are set and controlled by the Municipality; our role is to prepare and submit a complete, correct file so it clears without delay.
Estimated timeline
Attestation is usually completed quickly once every document is in order. Note the compliance point: a Sharjah tenancy contract should be attested within 90 days of its start date, so it is best not to leave it late.
Common mistakes
- Leaving attestation past the 90-day window
- Submitting a contract that is not in Arabic and not translated
- Missing the SEWA bill or a required NOC
- A mismatch between the Emirates ID name and the contract details
