The Step-by-Step Process for Renewing a Trade License in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah Mainland (Detailed)
Renewing a trade license in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah requires a number of compliance checks and approvals. This will ensure that there are no delays, fines, or disruptions to a company’s operation.
Step 1: Trade License Review & Compliance Assessment
The process begins with the checking of the existing mainland trade license. This involves checking the trade license expiration dates, type of business, share structure, and registered address. Outstanding fines, expired establishment cards, visa problems, or issues relating to labor compliance are also identified. This is done before the application is submitted to the DED, ADDED, or Sharjah DED.
Step 2: Tenancy Contract & Ejari Renewal
Having a legitimate office tenancy agreement is a prerequisite for the renewal of the trade license in the mainland. In Dubai and Sharjah, Ejari registration and renewal are obligatory. The tenancy agreement should be in conformity with the licensed business and must be of a minimum size and use required by the authority. In Abu Dhabi Mainland, Tawtheeq registration is obligatory.
Step 3: Verification of Business Activities & Approvals
Every licensed activity is then assessed to see if any third-party approvals are necessary. Some activities might require approvals from government agencies such as Civil Defense, RTA, DHA, KHDA, SIRA, or various municipal authorities. The status of any pre-existing approvals is then checked, and renewals are obtained if necessary.
Step 4: Document Compilation & Attestation
All necessary documents are collected and validated, such as copies of the passport, Emirates ID, visa copies, MOA, tenancy contract, and shareholder resolutions (if the shareholders are companies). All obsolete and/or incorrect data is updated before the submission.
Step 5: Application Submission to Mainland Authority
The application for license renewal can be done electronically or manually to the concerned authority, which may be Dubai DED, ADDED, or Sharjah Economic Development Department. This application will be accompanied by license data, tenancy data, approvals, and compliance.
Step 6: Government Fee Calculation & Payment
Once approved, the issuing of the renewal payment voucher follows. The fees charged by the government depend on the emirate, type of license, activity, and size of the office.
Step 7: Issuance of Renewed Trade License
The new mainland trade license will be issued after a successful payment. This new license will show an updated period of validity, ensuring that it indicates whether it is valid, suspended, or cancelled.
Step 8: Post-Renewal Compliance and Support
After the renewal, updates of establishment cards, renewals of immigration files, visa processing, bank documentation, and VAT or corporate tax alignment are also taken care of, if needed.
