Applying for Sewerage Services in Ajman
If you're moving into a rental property in Ajman, you register for sewerage services through Ajman Sewerage's Move-In service before or as soon as you move in. Registration itself is free and activates your account and monthly billing; it's separate from the ongoing service charge you'll pay each month.
What Is Ajman Sewerage Move-In / Tenant Registration?
Move-In registration is the process by which a new tenant opens a sewerage account for the property they're renting. It activates the sewerage service, links the account to the tenant rather than the landlord, and sets up monthly billing by email and SMS.
Who Needs to Register?
This service is for tenants, not property owners. Anyone moving into a rented residential or commercial property in Ajman should register before moving in, or as soon as they take occupancy. If a tenant doesn't register, billing for the property continues on the owner's account instead.
Documents Required
Residential tenants
- Valid Pre-Tenancy document (Certificate of Authentication)
- Valid tenancy contract
- Valid Emirates ID
Commercial tenants
- Valid Pre-Tenancy document (Certificate of Authentication)
- Valid tenancy contract
- Valid trade licence
An application won't proceed if the tenant's Emirates ID or trade licence has expired and there's no proof of a renewal application.

Ajman Sewerage Monthly Service Charges

How to Pay an Ajman Sewerage Bill
Bills can be paid online through the Ajman Sewerage website or Smart App, or through participating banks. Ajman Sewerage's Customer Happiness Centres also accept in-person payments. Have your account or Sewerage ID number ready for any payment channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I register before moving into an Ajman rental property?
Yes. Ajman Sewerage's Move-In service is designed to be completed before or right at move-in, so the property's account is activated and billed to you as the tenant from the start.
What happens if the tenant does not register?
The property continues to be billed under the owner's account. This makes the owner responsible for charges the tenant is actually generating, so registering promptly matters for both parties.
Is Ajman Sewerage registration free?
Yes, the Move-In registration itself is free of charge. However, this only covers opening the account; the monthly sewerage service charge is separate and still applies once the account is active.
Can I register online?
Yes. Registration is done through the Ajman Sewerage website or Smart App, without needing to visit a service centre in person.
Do commercial tenants need different documents?
Yes. Commercial tenants submit a valid trade licence in place of an Emirates ID, along with the same pre-tenancy documents and tenancy contract required of residential tenants.
