Does adding a listing with an advertising licence activate a broker account?

3 min readLast updated: 2026-10-14

No. Adding a listing with a valid advertising licence number publishes the listing, but it does not activate your account as a real estate broker.

What the advertising licence does

  • The advertising licence number is checked with the Real Estate General Authority when you add the listing.
  • It is matched against the national ID number or commercial register number on your account.
  • Once matched, the property data is pulled from the licence and you complete the listing steps up to publishing.

The advertising licence belongs to the listing itself; it is not the broker’s professional FAL licence. Broker activation relies on the FAL licence.

How do I activate my broker account?

Use one of the available methods — all of them require your account to be verified through Nafath first:

  1. 1
    From your profile: the “FAL License Verification” card, matching your sign-in mobile number with the number on the licence. Details
  2. 2
    From Raghdan WhatsApp Bot: send “تفعيل” followed by your FAL licence number, matching your WhatsApp number with the number on the licence. Details
  3. 3
    By support ticket with a copy of your FAL licence. Details
