Emaar Moving Permit & Building Access Guide
Moving into or out of an Emaar-managed community? Lift booking, security check-in, moving windows, and approvals matter. This guide helps you prepare the right way.
Procedures can vary by building. Always confirm final requirements with your building/community management.
Why Emaar moves need planning
Emaar buildings tend to have:
- Structured security and access controls
- Lift / service elevator rules
- Approved moving time slots
- Building management processes that differ by tower
A smooth Emaar move comes down to early confirmation and correct paperwork.
What "moving permit" usually means
In many Dubai towers it refers to one or more of:
- Approved move-in / move-out request
- Lift / service elevator booking
- Security registration for movers (IDs, vehicle plate)
- Access approvals for loading bay / service entrance
- Sometimes a refundable deposit or move fee (building-dependent)
Step-by-step: How to arrange your Emaar move access
1. Contact building management early (3–7 days before)
Ask for the official move-in/move-out procedure, required documents, available time slots, lift booking steps, and any deposits/fees. Contact the management office, front desk, or community app.
2. Reserve your move slot + lift booking
Confirm the approved move window (start + end), whether a service elevator must be used, if elevator protection is required, and if a building representative must be present. Book a slightly longer slot than you think you need.
3. Prepare access details for security
Most towers request: tenant/owner name + unit, move date + time, moving company name (Box & Beyond), crew IDs, vehicle plate(s), and a contact number. Submit only what they ask via official channels.
4. Confirm loading bay / parking plan
Where can the truck park? Is basement access allowed? Is there a service entrance? Long carry (truck far from lift) increases time and manpower.
5. Repeat for the drop-off building
Many moves fail because the new building wasn’t prepared. Confirm lift slot, security notified, parking plan, and keys/access cards for the new location.
