Signing a tenancy contract and registering it are two things

A tenancy contract in Abu Dhabi is registered in Tawtheeq rather than Ejari, through the TAMM portal. The landlord registers it, and the registered contract is what utilities and visa applications are checked against.

A tenancy contract is the agreement between a landlord and a tenant. Registration is a separate step. Having one does not give you the other.

We do not list what you need

What is required, what it costs, and who can submit it change over time, and they are Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre’s to state. A copy here would eventually be wrong, and someone would act on it. The service below lists the current requirements.
