goAML Registration

Your UAE Real Estate Brokerage Must Be Registered. Is It?

Under Federal Decree-Law No. 10 of 2025 and Cabinet Resolution No. 134 of 2025, every real estate brokerage supervised by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism (MOET) is legally required to register on the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit’s (FIU) goAML portal – regardless of transaction volume or report history.
